    View the field description for the Interface Validations page

  5. Enter a value in the PRIORITY field to indicate the order in which the interface’s validations run.

  6. Select View from the VALIDATION TYPE list box.

  7. Select a purpose from the VALIDATION PURPOSE list box to determine why the validation is needed. Options are:

    • Requirement– Interface is not run if the view returns records.

    • Validation – Interface is not run if the view fails to return a record.

  8. Select a value from the VALIDATION WHEN list box to define when the validation is processed in relation to the event. Options are:

    • Pre – Runs the validation before running the event.

    • Post – Runs the validation after running the event. This option is typically used to determine if an event has run to completion.

  9. Select a disposition from the DISPOSITION list box. If the event fails the event validation rule, the disposition defines what happens next. Options are:

    • Abort – Unexpected condition. If the validation fails, the interface is turned off, and workflow emails are sent to the business and technical roles.

    • Consider Complete – Expected condition. The interface does not retry, the event is considered complete and the next event runs.

    • Retry – Expected condition. The interface retries this event/validation until there are no more event validation failures.

  10. Click Save; the Vertical View displays.

    NOTE: The VALIDATION TYPE selected on the Horizontal View determines the configuration of the Vertical View.
