How to validate/filter data in DMF (Data import export framework)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Rudi Hansen 4,075

I have to read a CSV file with Supplier prices, and i would like to do some validation/filtering of the data when i read the into the staging tables.

As far as i can tell i am reading the records into the table DMFPriceDiscAdmTransEntity, using the Class DmfPriceDiscAdmTransEntityClass.

Now my CSV file contains some records that would not be valid in AX, in some cases the vendor or item id does not exist in AX, and also in some cases the price for the line is the same as in AX, so i also do not want to read those lines.

Where should i put in my code to filter the records?

    Hi Rudi Hansen,

    As far as I know, transfer of data from file to staging table is done by SSIS that does not know anything about AX business logic and can validate only data types. All validation\filtration should be done on a standing to target copy.

    Ok do you know where in the code that happens?

    If you asking about writing to staging check DmfStagingWriter.execute()

    Actually you may override postGetStagingData method on DmfPriceDiscAdmTransEntityClass to "cleanup" data. This method is executed just after import into staging table, but again you cannot avoid copying them.

    This actually solves this problem for me, i can put some cleanup code in postGetStagingData.

    Thanks for your help
