Process IPDSDVB - Interval Profile Data Validation

The IPDSDVB background process is used to validate interval profile data. It processes pending interval profiles that were created up to the cutoff date/time and executes their validation algorithms, if any, defined on the profile type. The algorithms are executed in their predefined sequence order.

The standard business date is used together with the installation base time to derive the cutoff date/time that is passed to the validation algorithms. For example, if the batch business processing date is 09/08/2003 and the installation base time is 2:00AM, the cutoff date/time is calculated as 09/08/2003 02:00AM. When no business date is specified, it is set to current date.

It is important that ALL validation algorithms are provided with the same cutoff date/time as their referenced date/time. This identifies the collection of pending interval profiles to be processed as of a given date/time. This way even if a new profile is created after one validation algorithm is executed but before a subsequent validation algorithm is executed, the new profile is still not processed because it was not created by the cutoff date/time.
