Validating Models

To enhance data integrity, run the Activity-Based Management Model Validation engine to find most of the setup problems, data integrity errors, business rule errors, tree errors, and other audit errors. The Model Validation engine lets you display all errors online according to type, severity, and related parameters that identify the cause of the error so that you can correct errors without substantial additional investigation.

See Activity-Based Management Validation Engine Messages by Message Number.

When you run this engine, the system creates a temporary table for error message details. Because you need to merge these details into the final tables, run a single jobstream that runs this engine with the Merge engine to ensure that the system populates the final tables.

When you set up your models using the Models component (MODEL_TBL1), click the Run Control Information tab (MODEL_TBL3) to define the Activity-Based Management Model Validation Profile that you want to use.
