Response
The response to a data load is a token, which can be used in subsequent calls to track the data load and validation process and, once validation is complete, the token can be used to perform actions such as a pulish, obtain validation report, export in a different format, or export with mapping.
{
"Success" : true,
"uid" : "unique token"
}

Load Status Response
The response is a validation report, to either indicate success or error. 777
The report Status indicates how far into the validation process the server has reached. The following table shows the various stages:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Initialising | Initial status |
| Analysing | The dataset is being analysed for series and obs count, and which dsd's it references |
| Validating | The dataset is being validated |
| Complete | The dataset validation process has finished, there may/man not be errors |
| Consolidating | The dataset is being consolidated, duplicate series and observations are being merged into one final dataset |
| IncorrectDSD | The dataset references a DSD that can not be used to validate the data |
| InvalidRef | The dataset references a DSD/Dataflow/Provision that does not exist in the Registry |
| MissingDSD | The dataset does not not reference any structure so the system can not read the dataset |
| Error | The dataset can not be read at all |
