Documentation
Definition
The validation configuration defines which validations are executed for a node category (depending on the action for action validations).
Use
The validation configuration can be used to define for a node category which validation should be executed for which action or to check the consistency.
If more than one node category exists the configuration can be different as the business logic of instances with different node categories could be different.
Dependencies
A validation is only executed to check the consistency or the execution of an action for a node instance if it is enabled for the node category of this instance.
Example
For a node (e.g. an item of a service order) two node categories SERVICE_ITEM and SALES_ITEM are defined that have slightly different semantics and business logic.
Three validations are defined for the node that should run to check the consistency of an item.
- One validation VAL_ITEM_DATA to validate common item data
- One validation VAL_SERVICE_ITEM_DATA to validate service-specific item data
- One validation VAL_SALES_ITEM_DATA to validate sales-specific item data
As VAL_ITEM_DATA should be executed for both service and sales items it is enabled for both node categories. To the contrary VAL_SERVICE_ITEM should only be executed for service items and is therefore only enabled for the node category SERVICE_ITEM whereas VAL_SALES_ITEM should only be executed for sales items and is therefore only enabled for the node category SALES_ITEM.
