Integrated Validation Overview

Integrated Validation Overview

When you archive or retire an application to the Data Vault, you can enable integrated validation to ensure the integrity of the data that you archived or retired. Integrated validation helps you to identify data that might have been deleted, truncated, or otherwise changed during the retirement or live archive process.
You can enable integrated validation when you create an archive or retirement project, before you schedule it to run. Before the job copies the tables to Data Vault, the integrated validation process uses an algorithm to calculate a checksum value for each row and column in the table in the entity. After the job copies the tables to Data Vault, the validation process calculates another checksum value for the rows and columns in Data Vault. The process then compares the original checksum value of each row and column, to the checksum value of each corresponding row and column in Data Vault.
When the comparison is complete, you can review the details of the validation. If a deviation occurs in the number of rows, the value of a row, or the value of a column, between the original checksum value and the archived or retired checksum value, you can review the details of the deviation. You can select a status for each deviated table in the archive job or retirement project. You must provide a justification for the status that you select.
After you review the validation, you can generate a validation report that includes the details of each deviation. The validation report also contains a record of any status that you selected when you reviewed the deviation, and any justifications that you entered.
You can enable integrated validation for live archive projects that have an Oracle source connection.
You can enable integrated validation for retirement projects that have the following types of source connections:
  • Oracle
  • IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
  • IBM DB2 for z/OS
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • IBM AS/400 (System i)
  • Informatica PowerExchange
Integrated validation lengthens the retirement process by 40% to 60%.
