When a rule specification is modified in Cloud Data Quality, select the rule specification again or reset the fields of the advanced rule association in

Reference 360

. Otherwise, the changes to the rule specification aren't effective when the rule is executed.

If you set an attribute as input and output fields for the same advanced rule association, you can't add values for the fields that use the rule specification, on the

New Code Value

page. To add code values to a code list, you can use reference data import jobs.

When you configure an advanced rule association for a reference data field or a field that uses a reference data field, the rule considers only the code field of the referenced code value.

When you re-enable the advanced rule association for the

Code

attribute and update a field other than the input fields, you can't save the code value if the input fields were updated previously.

Disable the advanced rule association.
Revert the changes to the input fields and re-enable the advanced rule association.

By default,

Data Quality

uses the Date/Time format to execute rules. When you configure advanced rule associations to validate date fields in

Reference 360

, the rules consider the date based on the time zone. For example, when you configure an advanced rule association to check whether the date is earlier than the current date. The rule considers the time zone and determines the date.

An advanced rule association for a transformation function must have rule statement output values for all the conditions in Cloud Data Quality to generate values in the output field.

After you configure an advanced rule association to code list attributes, specify values for at least one of the input fields to run the rule and display validation error messages for code values.

In

Data Quality

, you can create a rule specification to copy the input field value to the output field if the input field starts with

1

and set the action to

Do nothing

if the rule statement is not valid. When you use this rule specification in an advanced rule association, it returns an empty value for the output field if the input field value doesn't start with

1

. To use the input field value for the output field, edit the rule specification in

Data Quality

and change the action

Do nothing

to

Use the Input field

.

When you configure an advanced rule association for a required field, ensure that the field value doesn't depend on the value of another field that is configured with an advanced rule association.

Reference 360

doesn't guarantee the execution order of the rules.
