Tool that provides a quick summary of the contents of an AGS file. This includes a list of all groups with a count of the records in each, a summary of exploratory holes (LOCA) by type and a list of all holes (LOCA).
Instructions
- Select file to summarise using file picker below
- Review and select options below, as applicable
- Click button to run

- Maximum file size 20MB
- Only one file can be run at a time
- General conditions and limitations
- Further app specific limitations described in Additional technical information below
Additional technical information
If there are AGS format rule validation issues in the original file, then it is likely that this will be reflected in the results, unless the problems are so severe that they prevent the file from parsing in the first place!
However, there are a few situations where rule validation issues may be ignored/corrected during parsing. One example is that data will be parsed even if quotemarks for data items, i.e. "...", are omitted (rule 5). No warning is provided for this particular trangression. Do not assume that a file is valid AGS just because no warnings are flagged up.
If you are concerned about AGS rule validation then we recommend using our validator tool. This summary tool does not carry out full validation and will only flag up major issues that affect the processes it uses.
The 20MB file limit is primarily dictated by the limitations of Google App Engine (GAE) Standard Environment which we are using to host these apps. This limit reflects the maximum file size we have tested for so far. Please get in touch if you need to process larger files. This is very do-able, but it will require a different implementation, e.g. running the underlying python code locally or running it on an upgraded (paid for) implementation of GAE.
