Mapplet as a Rule Validation

Mapplet as a Rule Validation

A rule is business logic that defines conditions applied to source data when you run a profile. It is a midstream mapplet that you use in a profile. You can validate a mapplet that you want to use as a rule in a profile.
A rule must meet the following requirements:
  • The rule must contain an Input and Output transformation. You cannot use data sources in a rule.
  • The rule can contain Expression transformations, Lookup transformations, and passive data quality transformations. The rule cannot contain any other type of transformation. For example, a rule cannot contain a Match transformation, as it is an active transformation.
  • The rule does not specify cardinality between input groups.
Rule functionality is not limited to profiling. You can add any mapplet that you validate as a rule to a profile in the Analyst tool. For example, you can evaluate postal address data quality by selecting a rule configured to validate postal addresses and adding it to a profile.
