A job definition is a combined set of components configured into a template for the import, validation, and export of data to one or more target systems. The job definition manages the quality of the data to be loaded into the target system configuration. You can define the import mappings, export mappings, validation rule sets, and delete rule sets.
When a job definition has been configured, Data Validator Job Management uses it to load jobs containing data into a target system.
Each job definition is configured using the following components:
-
Basic Details - The job description name and description, as well as the workflow used to export data to the primary target system.
-
Workflow - The defined set of steps that drive the behavior of the job running through Data Validator. The following workflow templates are delivered with Data Validator: Import Validate Export, Import Validate Delete Export, and Import Validate Export Delete Job.
-
Target Systems - One or more systems used to validate and export the data.
-
Export Configuration - The export configuration used for creation of new document versions and file management.
-
Import Definitions - The definitions used to import the data.
-
Rule Sets - The rule sets used to validate and verify the imported data.
-
Implicit Delete Rules - The rules used to delete data.
-
Validation Report Definitions - The report definition used to create the validation report.
-
Access Groups - The access groups that have permission to use the job definition to create a new job in Data Validator Job Management.
