New Utility for Validating Groovy Business Rule Scripts

A future version of the Groovy engine, which is planned for the second half of 2025, has stricter validation rules that may cause previously valid rules to fail validation. This update provides a program called the Groovy Script Validator, which validates Groovy business rule scripts to ensure that they will pass the stricter Groovy rule guidelines enforced by the future version of the Groovy engine.

Applies to: Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Planning, Tax Reporting

The Groovy Script Validator aids in finding the rules that need to be adjusted and provides a report so you can fix any issues.

To validate Groovy scripts:

  1. From the Home page, select Application, and then Overview.
  2. Click Actions, and then select Groovy Script Validator.

After running the validation program, you can download the Groovy validation report from one of the following locations:

  • On the Jobs page, under Recent Activity, click the Groovy validation report Job, to view the Download option.
  • On the Inbox/Outbox Explorer page, look for the GroovyValidationReport.html file, and download it.

For a list of Groovy validation errors and recommended resolutions, see Resolving Groovy Business Rule Validation Issues in Designing with Calculation Manager.

Business Benefit: Providing a Groovy script validation utility helps you find any potential issues so you can resolve them before the stricter Groovy rule guidelines take effect.
