FDM validation reports retrieve values directly from target systems, FDM source data, or FDM converted data. Validation reporting is driven by two components—a group of validation rules that compose the rows of the validation report and a group of validation entities, which determine the target entities to which the validation rules apply.
Validation reports are produced during the data-load process but can also be run manually. Reports are used primarily to review the quality of the data that was loaded.
FDM analyzes validation reports and enters status entries in the process monitoring table. If all rules for a location pass validation, a status of True is shown for the location. If a rule is used only for warning purposes, no rule logic is assigned to the row.
