You can trigger a job external to the Data Validator Job Management when you want to run a job process without any user interaction, warnings, or errors. To trigger a job externally, the job has two defined stages:

  • Create the job definition configured for the import, validation, and export of data to a specific target system or multiple target systems in Data Validator Administration.

  • Create a control file that contains of all the information required for the job creation to be externally processed. The control file is an XML format file.

Job definition

The foundation for each job is the job definition that is created in the Data Validator Administration module. This combines all the settings into one job, which has the following steps:

  • Create the import mapping, validation rules, export mapping, and implicit delete rules.

  • Create a job definition configured for the import, validation, and export of data to a specific target system or multiple target systems.

Silent job setup files

A folder, SilentJobSetup, containing silent job workflows, schedulers, and a sample control file is delivered through Smart Community. For more information, see Find sample data on Smart Community. The files in this folder are used to trigger a job external to the Data Validator Job Management and to run a job process without any user interaction, warnings, or errors.

  • You can load the VTLSilentJob.xmlldr file available in the SilentJobSetup folder into SmartPlant Foundation using the Loader in Desktop Client. Three silent workflows and a scheduler are loaded into SmartPlant Foundation when you load the VTLSilentJob.xmlldr file:

    • Silent Import Validate Export

    • Silent Import Validate Delete Export

    • Silent Import Validate Export Delete Job

    • VTLSilentJobCreationScheduler

    For more information on how to load the VTLSilentJob.xmlldr file, see Trigger the job .

The sample control file, Silent Job Creation Control File - Template.xml, is delivered in the Control Files folder located in the SilentJobSetup folder. You can use the sample control file to create the XML control file that defines the job information and processes the definitions in Data Validator Job Management. After making the required changes, you must place the control file in the Control Files folder in a shared location accessible by the SmartPlant Foundation application server.
