Figure 45. ABO Bulk Request Validate Process workflow

Workflow Description. This workflow performs the following actions:

1. Load Bulk Request. Loads the data in the bulk request.
2. Validate Bulk Request. Validates the data in the bulk request against validation rules.

   The Cache Action Set, Cache Actions, and Cache Instances arguments are part of this step. These inputs take values of Y or N. In the case of a Y value, the objects are cached during validation. When the number of objects of a particular type is very high, these flags can be set to N to improve performance.

3. Valid? Decision point calls different actions for valid and invalid data.
4. Log Error in File. If any of the data is invalid, logs the data into a file.

Table 49 shows the steps in this workflow that call business service methods.
