Procedure documentationValidating Dictionary Types Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

When data objects are imported, corresponding data dictionary types are created. These dictionary types are simple or built-in types. You can perform type validations on these dictionary types. Before persisting a data object attribute, the data dictionary validation takes place at the service component level.

For example, there is an error in the value entered for the Age attribute. When you try to save this value, validation takes place at the service component level, which identifies the value as incorrect. This causes an exception to be raised and is propagated to the UI component level.
