Flow for the From File Processes

The From File processes are Compare from File, Validate from File, Copy from File.

During From File processing the framework iterates over instances in the project, and for each instance calls the OnPreCopyCompare then OnPreUpdate base class methods. OnPreCopyCompare is implemented in the base class to make the roughly following preliminary calls:

1. CustomTransform: any special from file transforms.

2. Validate: standard validations of original source if DB Integrity or Validate is selected.

3. CustomValidate: any special validations.

4. Merge: perform default merge of merge groups. This includes a compare of original source object.

5. CustomMerge: any special adjustments to merge.

6. Compare: compare merged rowset if compare was requested and merging was performed.

7. Validate and CustomValidate: validate merged rowset if validate was requested and merging was performed.

8. Copy: if copy was requested. If compare was run, then the user’s compare selections will be honored.
