This workflow validates the data in a bulk request. Figure 53 shows this workflow.

A user can initiate this workflow by clicking the Validate button on the Bulk Request form or the Bulk Request List view.

Figure 53. ABO Bulk Request Validate Process Workflow

Workflow Description. This workflow performs the following actions:

1. Load Bulk Request. This step loads the data in the bulk request.
2. Validate Bulk Request. This step 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? This step calls different actions for valid and invalid data.
4. Log Error in File. If any of the data is invalid, then this step logs the data into a file.

Table 48 shows the steps in this workflow that call business service methods.
