Details about the Question

I was importing MAGE-TAB array data files and related annotation files, but my .srdf file received an error message as "Failed Validation". Why?

Answer

In caArray, many types of files can be uploaded, but not all files can be validated. The validation process is only for the data files associated with experimental samples, such as: array design files, array data files, and array annotation files ( caArray 014 - Which files can be uploaded into caArray? Which Files Can Be Uploaded into caArray?). The validation process may occur implicitly (array design file) or explicitly (all other array-related annotation or data files).

For more information on how files are uploaded into caArray, see caArray 017 - What is the meaning of the caArray Status of Importing - Imported versus Imported Not Parsed?, caArray Status of Importing: Imported and Imported Not Parsed.
