Validation

Validation of Business Objects and Business Object Packages must occur prior to executing Business Object operations, if the option to validate has been configured (recommended) in the Enterprise Operations device instance in the DDS.

Business Object Validation

When configured to do so, a Business Object must be checked for validation before any updates to the system can be issued.

The EIE first checks to see that all objects in the request exist. If an object key is provided, but the associated facility and points do not define a valid object, then the object will not be updated.

A valid Object for a given Interface must have the following characteristics.

• The Object must have a unique key across all other objects of that Interface type.
• The Object must have a facility with properties consistent with the object mapping's facility rule definition.
• The facility for the Object must have associated points for each required Interface component mapped to a UDC.

See Package File Validation for more information.
