When a validation report is generated by HxGN SDx, you can download it as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet using Download Validation Report on the main toolbar. The contents of the report include details about the job and validation summary information, as illustrated in the following image:
By default, there are two severity levels for issues.
-
Error - Displayed as red in the graph.
-
Warning - Displayed as yellow in the graph.
It is possible to configure new severity levels and colors using the system option settings in Data Validator Administration. For more information on system options, see Set Data Validator default options.
The validation summary sheet provides information regarding the number of warnings and errors for each type of object. Additional sheets in the validation report provide more detail on these objects through either clicking the hyperlink, such as EqpClass, or by selecting the Worksheet tab.
Object types
The following details are also available in separate tabs for each of the object types in the Excel file:
Name |
Description |
---|---|
Name |
The name of the object that caused the error. |
UID |
The unique identifier of the object that caused the error, used to identify potential issues with the mapping. |
Column name |
The column name in the import mapping CSV file that created the object. |
Action |
The action for the object, property, or relationship as identified in the import map. |
Message |
The default failure message, as defined on the validation rule that failed. Auto-generated rules have hard-coded default messages that may be changed by editing the rule. |
Severity |
The severity level of the rule that failed, such as Warning, Error, or a custom severity. |
Propagated From |
Indicates that this object is in error because another object or property had an error that was propagated to this item. |
Line Number |

File Name |
The name of the file that contains the data. |
Rule Name |
The name of the rule that failed. |
Value |
The value of the property if this is a property rule, or the UID of the object if this is an object rule. |
Error Type |

Property or RelDef name in Data Validator |
If the rule is based on a property or relationship, this field displays the property or relationship definition name as it appears in Data Validator, as opposed to the target system. |
Additional Info |
Any additional information relevant to a rule. Some rules can provide extra information that is not overridden by the user message, such as concurrent engineering rules reporting the other configurations in which the item has been found. |
