Validating Data

You can perform basic data validation checks using the Data Validation cartridge.

General

Out-of-the-box data validation functionality that comes with the Data Validation cartridge performs two basic checks:

• data retrieval check, i.e. whether data from a given access can be retrieved
• entity type check, i.e. whether the data returned matches the data defined in the entity type

Prerequisites

• Deployed and synchronized Data Validation cartridge

Validating Data

To validate data for a given access:

1. In Control Center, navigate to Service Processors and deploy the Data Verification Service Processor.
2. Create a new DataVerification instance.
3. Assign the access you want to validate data for to your new DataVerification entity instance and commit your changes.
4. Create a new transient VerifyData instance. VerifyData is a DDSA service request that runs in the background and performs the actual data validation.
5. Assign your DataVerification entity instance to your new VerifyData service and click Apply.
6. Execute the request and refresh Control Center. Data validation takes place in the background.
7. Keep refreshing until you see that an instance of DataVerificationResult is assigned to your DataVerificationResult entity instance.
8. Download and inspect the data verification report.
