Examples of DCN in a sentence
Partner Assigned DCN ▇▇ ▇▇▇-▇▇▇ The Document Control Number assigned by the VDSA partner.
While other information in an input record may have changed in the response record, the DCN will not.
Required fields include the Surname of Covered Individual, First Initial, Date of Birth, Sex code, a DCN assigned by the VDSA partner, Transaction Type, Coverage Type, Individual’s SSN, Effective Date, and Termination Date.
Consequently, using the DCN will always allow a VDSA partner to match and link an input record with its corresponding response record.

When a non-MSP ‘D’ record is received with a coverage type that indicates there is prescription drug coverage (U, V, W, X, Y, Z, 4, 5, 6), the BCRC will attempt to create an RX transaction.
In general, in COSIGN a Network Element corresponds to a single network device deployed in the DCN infrastructure.
In this case, the virtual infrastructure information model will be very similar to the DCN information model, but dealing with virtual resources rather than with physical ones.
For this reasons, the COSIGN DCN Control Plane solution is based on the centralized deployment model, with a single SDN controller that maintains the overall view and control of the overall DCN.
The DCN information model is typically used in read-write mode from some of the internal modules of the SDN controller, since they may need to operate and configure somehow the DCN itself.
