Validation
During map execution, the input data is validated to assure it matches the
definition of that input. Specify how strictly the data is validated by specifying
response behavior for types of validation errors.
Value Description
Standard Standard validation occurs when the map is run.
Custom Enables custom validation options. Define these options in the
OnValidationError, RestrictionError, SizeError, and
PresentationError settings.
OnValidationError
Under certain circumstances, multiple errors are detected that occur during
validation. The OnValidationError setting defines where to halt map execution.
With either setting, if an error is found in the input, no output objects are built.
Value Description
Stop Only validate through the input card where the first error
occurs. Stop executing the map after validating that input
card, even if there are multiple input cards.
Continue Continue validating data until all errors are found. Even
when validation finds data errors in a given input card, map
execution continues with the next input card.
RestrictionError
Define whether to validate the data with restrictions at run-time. For example, if
you are running some test data and you do not need the item values to match the
restrictions, you might wish to ignore the restrictions.
Value Description
Ignore Ignore restrictions during validation.
Validate Validate with restrictions.
