• Object Validation Programs. The object validation programs validate each of the system's master data objects (e.g., person, account, premise, meter, etc.) and a limited number of transaction data objects (e.g., field activity, field order, etc.). Please note that these programs call the same programs that are used to validate data added by users in your production system.

• Referential Integrity Validation Programs. After the master data objects have been validated, the referential integrity validation programs are executed to validate transaction data and to highlight "orphaned" rows. These programs simply check the validity of the foreign keys on all rows on all tables.
