Definition

A validation read node is a business object node that is read before a validation is performed.

Use

All of the relevant nodes should be assigned as read nodes for the validation to ensure that all of the required nodes for the validation implementation are already available in the buffer. The business object processing framework checks this before executing the validation.

If Read nodes are not assigned, the nodes are read when they are retrieved the first time. This could lead to multiple single reads to the buffer and the persistency, which should be avoided.
