A table appears with the sender structures of the aspect. Here you can assign a validation and/or a matrix validation to the various sender structures. (For general information on data transfer, see Data Transfer ).

Checking data during data transfer

After you have started the data transfer, the validation is automatically executed after the summarization of the data (with receiver records).

If the data does not correspond to one of the validation rules, the message created for it appears:

  • If there are only messages of type W (Warning) or I (Information), a log is written but the data is saved anyway.

  • If a message of type A (Termination) or E (Error) is present, the data is not saved. It is noted in both the validation log and the transfer log that the validation has registered errors.
