DIXF - staging "validate" button bug

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sven Joos 811

Dear,

after data was copied into the staging table and you open the form to view staging data. (form DMFDataVizualization)

In that form there is a button "Validate" or "Validate All". WHen you click this button, one of the validates that is executed is the validateField method of the staging table record. If something is check in there that returns false, the record is supposed to be invalid.

However, when you click "Copy data to target", this method is NOT executed and so this validation is skipped and data is just copied to the target.

I don't think this is logical behaviour. The validation should be the same upon processing as upon clicking the "validate" button.

Anyone else noticed this behaviour or has a fix for it?

Kr,

Sven

    Yes and no, because it it not a bug and there is already a way to enable those validations for import form staging to target: If you open the "Modify target mapping" form of an entity, in the mapping details you will notice the checkboxes "Call validate Field method" and "Call modified field method". If you check these, the checks from the Validate/Validate All buttons in the staging data form will also be executed during import from staging to target.

    Please note that these additional validations will decrease the performance of the import from staging to target.

    I am sorry to say that this is not true. I had already checked those boxes (as well on source=>stage, stage=>target) and these validations are just not ran upon processing from stage to target.

    I verified again, did another test, conclusion remains.

    By the way: working on AX2012 R3.

    On top of that, some extra info.

    The validateField method of the staging table is called from DMFCheckField:validateRecordsServer()

    which calls DMFCheckField::validateFieldValues which in its place will call the validateField of the staging buffer.

    This seems like a bug to me, since I am pretty sure this was working differently in the previous version of the framework.

    Kr,
