Configure Validation

Within the process step validation the system checks whether the quality of a record is sufficient to meet the requirements defined in the backend system. If the quality requirements are met the data can be saved directly, in other cases corrections and data enrichment might be required.

The process step validation runs without further configuration. Nevertheless you can configure the number of parallel processes to improve the performance of the consolidation process.

Example Example

Data only can be saved if Street and House Number are maintained.

End of the example.

Activities

To configure the validation run the Customizing activity under Start of the navigation path Master Data Governance Next navigation step Consolidation and Mass Processing Configure Validation End of the navigation path .

Note Note

To use parallelization in SAP MDG, consolidation you have to set up an RFC destination:

To create the bgRFC inbound destination manually, the authorization object S_BGRFC with activity 02 and type 07 has to be assigned to you.
1. Run transaction SBGRFCCONF.
2. On the Define Inbound Dest. tab choose Create.
3. Enter a name in the Destination field.
4. Enter MDC_QUEUE_ in the Prefixes field.
  If you use a queue prefix other than MDC_QUEUE_ this has to be entered in the corresponding field as described below.
5. On the Scheduler: Destination tab select the destination by double clicking on it.
  If the destination does not exists, proceed as described:
  1. Choose Create and on the bgRFC Configuration dialog box select Inbound.
  2. Enter the destination name into the Destination field and leave all other values as defaulted.
6. In the Open Connections field enter the number of allowed parallel processes or queues you wish to be managed by this destination. This number also specifies the maximum of parallel processes to be configured during the step configuration.
If you do not create the bgRFC inbound destination manually the very first consolidation process will trigger the automatic creation of the inbound destination under prerequisite that the authorization object S_BGRFC with full authorization is assigned to workflow system user.

End of the note.

Select New Entries.
Enter a Configuration ID and the corresponding Description.
In the Number of Processes field, enter the number of processes you want to be processed in parallel.
If required enter the Prefix for Queue Name.

Note
If you use queue prefixes other than MDC_QUEUE_ these have to be entered in the Prefix for Queue Name field.

End of the note.
If you want to execute MDG, central goverance validation checks select the Execute Central Governance Checks (Validation Rules (BRF+) & BAdI Validations) indicator.

Note
The Execute Central Governance Checks (Validation Rules (BRF+) & BAdI Validations) indicator only appears if you run MDG, central governance.

End of the note.
If you want to execute BRF+ checks, select the Execute BRFplus Checks indicator.

Note
As a prerequisite run the Customizing activity under Master Data Governance Consolidation and Mass Processing Define Rules Using the Business Rule Framework plus . For more information, see Define Rules Using the Business Rule Framework plus.

End of the note.
To specify a threshold for the validation, enter a value in the Threshold field.

Note
If you have not defined a checkpoint after validation this threshold is used to pause the process after the validation step, if the number of records with errors is equal to or exceeds the percentage value you have set here.
