A job definition is a combined set of components configured into a template for the import, validation, and export of data to one or more target systems. The job definition manages the quality of the data to be loaded into the target system configuration. You can define the import mappings, export mappings, validation rule sets, and delete rule sets.

When a job definition has been configured, it can be used by the Data Validator Job Management application to load jobs containing data into a target system. For more information on the process of job management, see Processing a job through Data Validator Job Management.

To view, edit, create, or delete job definitions, select Job Definitions from the main toolbar list box.

  • You create job definitions using a dynamic job wizard, which uses the workflow selected as the basis for the behavior of the job running through Data Validator Job Management.

  • Each job definition has a set of process steps that manages the import, validation, and export processes. Some process steps appear in the wizard only when a specific workflow has been selected, such as Implicit Delete Rules.

  • Each job definition can be deleted using the Desktop Client or Data Validator Administration, but only if there are no active jobs attached to the job definition in Data Validator Job Management. For more information, see Delete a job definition and Delete job definitions using the Desktop Client.

Each job definition is configured using the following components:

  • Basic Details - The job description name and description, as well as the workflow used to export data to the primary target system.

  • Workflow - The defined set of steps that drive the behavior of the job running through Data Validator. The following workflow templates are delivered with Data Validator: Import Validate Export, Import Validate Delete Export, and Import Validate Export Delete Job.

  • Target Systems - The target system or systems used to validate and export the data.

  • Import Definitions - The import definitions used to import the data.

  • Rule Sets - The validation rule sets used to validate and verify the imported data.

  • Implicit Delete Rules - The delete rules used to implicitly delete data.

  • Validation Report Definitions - The validation report definition used to create the validation report.

  • Access Groups - The access groups that have permission to use the job definition to create a new job in Data Validator Job Management.

  • Record Job Details - These are used to store the job information, such as Import details, Validation details, Export details, and other job information.
