Term

Meaning

Actions

An indicator of what Data Validator will do with the object data in the validation and export process, such as update and delete. These kinds of operations vary, depending on whether the column header is mapped to an object, a property, or a relationship.

Brownfield data

An existing project or area that has constraints imposed due to prior work and contains existing data.

Column Headers

They are used in Data Validator as the basis for mapping new data in columns to match an existing structured database.

Export Mapping

The process that maps the imported objects, classes, and properties to the existing structure of the objects, classes, and properties found in a target system.

Export Process

Manages the loading of the data into the final destination system using a defined mapped, based on the structure of the target system.

Functions

A computed functional code run at import, where the output value of a function depends only on the arguments that are input to the function.

Greenfield data

A project or area that is completely new and does not have any constraints imposed by prior work or existing data.

Import Definition

A defined mapping of imported file objects, properties, and relationships from existing column headers to objects, properties, and relationships found in the staging area database during the import process.

Import Mapping

The process that maps the imported objects, classes, and properties to the existing structure of the objects, classes, and properties found in a staging system.

Import Process

The process that manages the import of data in the data file or files to the staging area database using a defined mapping.

Job

A defined object that carries information for the progress of data through a selected workflow in Data Validator Job Management, such as when data is imported, validated, and exported to a target system.

Job Definition

A combined set of components configured for the import, validation, and export of data to a specific target system or multiple target systems.

Mapping

A defined process where data is correlated from existing column headers for the objects, properties, and relationships in the imported data to the correct column headers for the objects, properties, and relationships found in another database, such as the staging database or target system.

Rules

A logical formula used to evaluate and verify whether the data in an imported record meets the requirements and data standards specified for the target database system.

Rule Sets

A combined set of rules that can be run as a set during job processing.

Staging System

The staging system or staging area or staging database used is the first part of a combined set of processes in Data Validator, where imported data is held and validated before being exported to a Data Validator site.

Target System

The system or database used as the destination for exported data that has been validated before export. It is also used as the basis for creating import mappings, implicit delete, and validation rules.

Terminate

To change the status of an object to terminated without removing it from the database. Terminating objects, instead of deleting them, allows you to continue to see the history of the object after termination.

Unique Key

A set of values guaranteed to be unique for each object in a relation, and can be used to identify objects in the target system.

Validation Process

A process that evaluates the imported data against a defined set of rules to ensure the validity of the data.

Validation Rule

A logical formula used to evaluate the imported data in one or more fields to determine whether it matches the existing criteria and hierarchy found in the target system database. There are two types of validation rules:

  • Rules that determine if the data is valid for the target system schema (these rules can be auto-generated

  • Rules that determine if the data meets specific business criteria, such as naming format.
