Creation of a Definition

To create a data check definition:

1. Switch to the 'Valuemation Core' side bar and open the 'Data Checks Definitions All' catalog.
2. Use the right-click context menu to call the 'Create' action. The 'New: Data Check Definition' editor opens.
3. Specify data check parameters.

• BO Type

  The business object type for which the data check is defined. If no object type is specified, the data check can be run on objects of any object type as long as it can be processed by the data check workflow.

• Workflow Definition

  The main component of the data check is a workflow which needs to be created specifically for this purpose. Workflow definition needs to be done in Valuemation Rich Client. See the end of this topic for an example of a data check workflow.

• Status

  Data check status can be 'Active', 'Inactive' or 'Optional' with the following meaning: When the data check action is called, then all 'Active' and 'Optional' data check definitions are offered and 'Active' data checks are pre-selected. 'Inactive' data checks are not offered when the action is called.

• Implements repair

  Set 'Implements repair' to True if the used workflow is capable to repairing data. When the data check is run, then an option to repair data is offered and if confirmed, the data check tries to repair found data inconsistencies.

• Prio

  Number defining in which order individual data checks are performed if more data checks are run.

• On Save

  Data checks can run automatically on object save. The following options are available:

  • Don't run on save

    The save action does not perform any data checks.

  • Warning

    Data checks are performed and a warning message displayed if error are found. It is, however, possible to save the object(s).

  • Error

    Data checks are performed, a warning message displayed and saving the object(s) is not possible.

• Condition

  Specifies a condition for selection of checked objects.
