Validation rules in FDM

What are the common scenarios/requirements to write validation rules in FDM.
What kind and types of validation rules can be written in FDM.
Please share any kind of information.

a very common validation is that Balance sheet must balance after loading and consolidation.
There can be many other validations, based on your business requirements.

FDM Validation Rules

I wrote a validation rule in FDM for the check report. I want to check the value of assets - equity - liability. After I write that code, the report looks good as long as the result of that calculation is not zero. But if the result is zero, the line is marked as ERROR. Any ideas on how to avoid it?

This is the Rule Logic that we use :
Fun:
Dim dblVal
dblVal = ABS(|,,,,,,YourAssetAcctHere,[ICP Top],Allcustom1,Allcustom2,Allcustom3,AllCustom4L,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,| - |,,,,,,YourLiabilityandEquityAccountHere,[ICP Top],Allcustom1,Allcustom2,Allcustom3,Allcustom4L,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,|)
If dblVal < 5 Then
'Passed validation rule
RESULT=True
ElseIf dblVal >= 5 And dblVal <= 10 Then
'Pass Validation, raise warning
RESULT=True
RES.PstrCheckMessage1 = "Warning! Trial Balance is out of balance."
ElseIf dblVal > 10 Then
     'Failed validation
     RESULT=False
     RES.PstrCheckMessage1 = "Trial Balance is out of balance, please correct!"
End If

FDM validation rule

Hi all, I have FDM 11.1.2.1 and during the testing of a validation rule I'm getting the follow
Round(28367722753347.5,0)=Round(28367722753347.4,0)
FALSE
The rule is this
Round(|,,,,,,R93,[ICP Top],AJUSTADO,SALDO,[None],[None],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,|,0)=Round(|,,,,,,R96,[ICP Top],AJUSTADO,SALDO,[None],[None],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,|,0)
Why is this giving False as a result ???
Also is there a way to have FDM to do the expression eval by selecting this Round(28367722753347.5,0) ??? All I get is Expected ')'
Thanks for your help

Thanks for your answer, I saw the result of your test ... thanks a lot I actually feel kind of stupid for not seeing that before.
About the second part or my question I'm refering about the Test tab, when you have an actual validation rule (not just Round(x,y)), once you select the entity and hit the test rule button all the fields on the screen get filled.
On the Expression field it shows the rule
Round(|,,,,,,R93,[ICP Top],AJUSTADO,SALDO,[None],[None],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,|,0)=Round(|,,,,,,R96,[ICP Top],AJUSTADO,SALDO,[None],[None],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,|,0)
On the Expression after Look up substitution (Scratch Pad) field it shows the replacement of the fields, it looks something like
Round(28367722753347.5,0)=Round(28367722753347.4,0)
Now my question was about the bottom right button called "Expression Eval", what's its function ??
I highlighted Round(28367722753347.5,0) (on the scratch pad) and then used the Expression eval button, then an error message showed up with the phrase Expected ')'
but when I highlight for example Int(28367722753347,5) (on the scratch pad) and then use the Expression eval button it shows me 28367722753347.
Is there a problem with the round function and it cannot be evaluated through that method ???
Thanks again for your interest and help

Validation Rule Error :Invalid Member Name In Lookup ({|0|}) value

We defined fdm validation rule as follows.
|Actual, April, 2010, YTD, ENTITY CURRENCY, Mumbai, TotalAssets, [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE]|-|Actual, April, 2010, YTD, ENTITY CURRENCY, Mumbai, TotalLiabilities, [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE], [NONE]|= 0
After testing the above rule definition, it gives below error message.
Err = Invalid Member Name In Lookup ({|0|}) value in ID indicates invalid member)
Scenario: ACTUAL [1]
Year: 2010 [2010]
Period: APRIL [83886080]

C2: [NONE] [0]
C3: [NONE] [0]
C4: [NONE] [0]
Lookup Error (2)
Err = Invalid Member Name In Lookup ({|0|}) value in ID indicates invalid member)

ICP: [NONE] [-1]
C1: [MISSING_VALUE] [-1]
C2: [NONE] [0]
C3: [NONE] [0]
C4: [NONE] [0]
Also we could see in the Expression after lookup substitution (scratch pad): we are getting 0-0=0.
Please provide you inputs.

I have not looked closely, but C1 is showing as "Missing Value". Have you checked to see if [None] is a valid member for the account you have selected (TotalLiabilities)?

Validation Rule

Hi,
I would like to know a validation rule is called from a program?
thank you.
Please come back with a less vague question. Are you asking about SELECTION-SCREEN validations, FI validations, something else?
Edited by: Rob Burbank on Mar 5, 2009 12:01 PM

You can connect to the SQL DATABASE or Oracle schema you have created for FDM. Now you will find tables("tdataseg" these tables contain data) there you will have to search for the table which contains data related to you.
And no de-normalization is required.

Validation Rule & Report

Hi,
In our Application, FDM is loading data into HFM database even if the validation rule fails.
As per my understanding, FDM should not load data into HFM, if any one of the validation rule doesnot succeed.
Is some settings need to be enabled to perform this check ?
Can anyone guide me.
Thanks,
Siva

Hello,
The validation report is part of the 'Check' fish (4th fish). The data is already done loaded at the Export/Load fish (3rd fish)
The purpose of the Check fish (and the report it produces: Validation Report) is to verify the accuracy of the data that was loaded.
Thank you.

Validation rule import

Hi everyone.
I am pretty new to FDM and would like to import the validation rule excel file using import xls in FDM. Please let me know the steps to perform this. There are lots of rules inside, so cannot rely on manual thing. Please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank a ton for your reply. Can you brief with me the steps. I took a export of one of validation rule, created a new validation group, and modified the validation group name in the excel export, location is still same. When I Import xls , it says import successful. But I didnt see any rule inside the new validation group I created. Correct me If I am doing wrong or missing anything. Thank you.

Not able to prompt errors.
Hi,
Your error message are not displaying because u does not made Message-Resoucrce property file (Resource Bundle) when you make it .
give it entry in
struts-config.xml
<message-resources parameter="ApplicationResources" />
and
define key and corresponding error message to key in this ApplicationResources i.e
#Error Resources
label.search.ssNum=Plz Enter correct ssNum

Exit in the Validation rule is not working in Project system

Hi Team,
I have created a validation rule for wbs and inserted a exit under check condition. But when i trying to test the validation rule, exit is not called. Is there any other step to activate the exit??
Best regards,

Hi,
The code you have written in the exit must be activated. Please check the same.

ADF: showing error message on a validation rule programatically

Jdeveloper : 11.1.2.2.0
i m using ADF. i ve a form that contains input text that is binded to a managed bean property.
that input text value is inserted into an entity attribute.the attribute in the entity has a validation rule.
i submit the form and in my managed bean i call
am.getDBTransaction().commit();
i want when i submit the form and the when the commit is called and throws exception regarding the validation rule,i want to show an error note window same style like this http://oi50.tinypic.com/15fhnpt.jpg
how can i do that ?
thanks in advance :)

Hi,
i submit the form and in my managed bean i call
am.getDBTransaction().commit();A strict NO NO for doing this. You add the commit action to the binding and call the execute the commit operation binding programatically.
i m using ADF.ADF is vast. Be specific on the technologies you use (ADF BC and ADF Faces?)
that input text value is inserted into an entity attribute.the attribute in the entity has a validation rule.Are you doing something special with the binding you have in bean? If not, why don't you Drag and Drop the VO from the data control directly? (set the af:messages tag to have inline=true).

Hi samatha b
Thanks for your response. I have done as you said and now i can rise the exception.
I have another requirement as per the validation transformation the data will load into Pass table and Fail table after job execution. If any data entered into fail table i have delete the data loaded into Pass table.
Here i am facing problem as my target tables are MySQL tables and when i am writing scripts i wrote the script as
sql('database','delete from <tablename>');
but as it is an SQL Query execution it is rising exception for the query.
How can i delete the data loaded into MySQL Target table using scripts.
Please guide me for this error also
Thanks in Advance

How do you create custom validation rule in WS 9.2?!?!?!

Hello,
I am using Workshop 9.2. I created a page flow, and want to do some form validations.
I saw the simple 9.2 example, but it is only good for very basic validation, what if you have to validate the form field against a database, must you write a custom validation rule? HOW would you do this in 9.2 so that will still stay with the workshop/netui paradigm?
http://beehive.apache.org/docs/1.0.1/netui/validation.html
Keith

Hi Keith,
Staying within the declarative validation framework the answer is probably that you do need to write a custom validation rule and refer to it using the @Jpf.ValidateCustomRule annotation.
The NetUI Annotation Reference shows how the Struts validations are supported via the framework.
http://beehive.apache.org/docs/1.0.1/netui/annotations/pageflow_annotations.html
Specifically, if you look through the @Jpf.Validate* annotations, while most of these are "canned" common validations, there are a few that are more open-ended, such as @Jpf.ValidateMask and @Jpf.ValidateValidWhen.
Those two let you write the validation logic in the annotation while @Jpf.ValidateCustomeRule only refers to a custom rule in the struts validator file.
In any case, there is a validation rule editor which should help in authoring and managing the annotations. In the Page Flow Explorer or Page Flow Editor just right click on the action or form bean bean of interest and choose Validation Rules and the appropriate scope.
I hope that's of some use,
Troy

Validation rule for Payment tax code

Hi
I have a requirement in which we have assigned both the invoice and payment with holding tax codes. However, at the time of booking vendor invoice through MIRO/F-43/FB60 , the user has to remove the payment with holding tax code manually. We have written a validation rule in which the prerequisite is that if the t code is F-43/MIRO/FB60 system should check if there is a invoice tax code. If the prerequisite is met and check failed system should give error message. However, our issue is that even after the payment tax code is removed, system is not allowing to save the invoice. The second issue is that the system is also giving an error if there is no tds tax types assigned to the vendor
Regards
Sanil Bhandari

Hi
I have set a validation rule with a warning message. System checks for with holding tax code and gives a warning message to the user to remove the payment tax code

Validation Rule for Accounting Document type

Hello Experts
I have an requirement to block certain accounting doc type to get vendor line item post in that. For that I tried to block direct through OBA7 but not be able to also can't delete number range as it is shared by another doc type. My last option is Validation rule but i never work on this ,so any suggest how to create validation rule " To Block Accounting Doc type SO THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY line item posting occur in that doc type.
Regards.

ok sure. OB28 callpoint 1. Create a step under this callpoint.
1) Prerequisite is as follows: note XXXX is your company code and ZZ is your doc type.
BKPF-BUKRS = 'XXXX' AND
BKPF-BLART = 'ZZ'
2) Then you need to enter the check. Here you can just put FALSE.
3) The last part is to create your message. Message type E so they get an error and then create a message number in the class that you choose and give it a description:
Document Type 'ZZ' is not allowed
Save it and wah lah!
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,
Jes
