File Standards Business Rules Server Workflow
Validation nodes are provided for performing content and context validation. Context Validation checks for the correct order of the records in a transmission. Content validation checks for the correct data values in a transmission. The nodes must be configured in a Business Rules workflow.
The workflow configuration includes the database views for the
rule sets being used. In the Control Center, configure the workflow name containing
the rule set to use. The screens containing the workflow name are:
- Transmission type screens
- Collection type screens
- Inbound product screens
A workflow consists of an XML file defining:
- Workflow Descriptor
- The nodes in the workflow and the order to call them
- Node Descriptor
- The tasks for each node in the workflow
- Task Descriptor
- Configuration information for each task in the node. Predefined samples are available for the validation nodes.
- Data Descriptor
- The database table structure a task uses. Predefined samples are available for X9.37-2003, X9.100-180, and X9.100-180-2006 context and content validation rules tables.
Users must create a workflow that uses the content and context validation nodes and define at least one task for each node with all the prerequisite tables created. The validation nodes require Business Rules to be defined. For more details, see File Standards Validation Rules.
