Validations that are identified as configurable validations can be disabled or enabled by an administrator. The unique validation reference for a validation, e.g. bpocaseparticipantrole.err_caseparticipantrole_xfv_from_date_caseheader_end_date|a|, is used to search for and retrieve a validation. The validation reference for a validation can be identified using the Validation Messages HTML Documentation as described later in this section.
In order for the application to uniquely distinguish validations, the validation reference for each configurable validation is made up of a combination of the message catalog ID and an alphabetic constant that is used to distinguish between the validations used across different modules. In addition, the validation reference for any validations that use the same message text as other validations within a module will also have a numeric constant appended at the end. These constants are arbitrarily assigned with no specific meaning to the letters or numbers used.
The search available in the system administration application will only return validations that are identified as configurable validations and are an exact match to the unique validation reference entered.
An administrator can view information about whether the configurable validation is currently enabled or disabled, and can select to disable or enable the validation as required. Disabled validations will not be executed during system processing.
Administrators can also view a list of all validations that are currently disabled by leaving the search field blank.
The next section describes the documentation that the organization can use to identify what validations have been verified and identified as configurable validations. This documentation also provides the unique validation reference for each validation that can be used to search for the validation in the system administration application.
