Validating the Rules Worksheet

The Standard mapping specification template includes macros to perform validation of the Rules worksheet.
The Rules worksheet performs the following validation:
  • Rules contain references to source and target models defined on the Models worksheet.
  • The datatype for a parameter is valid for the selected model type, or is a user-defined datatype configured on the Domains worksheet.
  • Rules contain at least one input parameter and one output result.
  1. Save the mapping specification.
  2. On the Rules worksheet, click

  3. Click
    OK
    .
    The mapping specification displays the first worksheet that contains errors. Cells that contain an error are colored red.
  4. Move the pointer over a red cell to display the error message for the cell.
  5. Correct errors and validate again.
