Set up staging validations

For each document record, you can define data validations to be done when a data record is inserted in the staging journal.

Found validation errors, warnings, or dependencies are stored as validation errors for the relevant staging journal.

For a Staging document, these standard validation classes are available:

Validation class	Description
BisValidationFieldisMantadory	This class checks if the field is filled. The arguments are: FieldValue and Type. The validation is met if the field has a valid value. For example, for date fields, the value 0 is not valid.
BisValidationReferenceExists	This class checks if a record exists in the defined table. The validation is met if at least one record exists in the table. The arguments are KeyFieldName or KeyFieldValue (only define one of these arguments) and TableName. For example, you can check if a customer exists in the CustTable. If the customer does not exist, a validation error is reported.
BisValidationMdmDifference	This class if differences exist between the data that is send from the source to the MDM staging journal and the current data in the target. This validation defines what happens with MDM staging journal lines with data differences. You can only use this class if you use: The Master data management staging journal. Data comparison on the MDM staging journal. For more information, refer to Monitor MDM staging journal.
