The Validation stage uses validation rule sets to verify the data in an imported record and ensure that it meets the data standards specified for the target system or other specific requirements. Each validation rule evaluates the imported data and verifies that it matches the existing criteria and hierarchy found in the target system database. Some rules will run against the staging area and some will run against the target system. For more information, see Validation rule description.
For more information on validation rules, see Define Validation Rules and Rulesets.
