When the checksum comparison for a live archive or retirement project is complete, you can review the validation process for details of any deviations that occur. You can select a status for any deviated table and provide a justification for the status. If you select rejected for a deviated table, the job remains in a paused state. You can also place a deviated table on hold.

When you run a live archive project with integrated validation enabled, you may have to review any deviations that occur before the job is complete. If deviations are found during the integrated validation step of a live archive project, the integrated validation job step enters a "warning" state and Data Archive pauses the job before the delete from source step or purge staging step. Before you can resume the job to continue to the delete from source step or purge staging step, you must review the validation and select the accepted status for any deviations that exist. If you try to resume the project without accepting the deviations, the job errors out.

When you select a status of accepted or rejected for a deviated table, it does not change the data in either the source database or the Data Vault. Statuses and justifications are a method of reviewing and commenting on deviations that occur. You can also edit a status or justification to change it, for example from rejected to accepted.

To review the validation, you must have the Operator role. To select a status for a deviated table, you must have the Administrator role. For more information on system-defined roles, see the

Informatica Data Archive Administrator Guide
