Parameter Validation Algorithm on Batch Control
Many plugin-driven batch processes include parameters specific to that process. This plugin spot now provides the ability to detect any parameter errors at the batch run level, before any further processing. Previously, there was no way to validate those parameters prior to invoking the select or process records algorithms.
This is a single algorithm plugin spot. For multiple algorithms, the one with the highest sequence is used. The assumption is that algorithms for this spot will use standard error message reporting.
NOTE: The plugin spot is only available to batch processes using the plugin-driven extract, generic, or upload process templates.
Including a parameter validation plugin spot allows errors to be detected at the batch run level and avoids unnecessary checks at a later time in processing.
