  Results

A dynamic display identifies the key of the object being processed; a counter shows total rows and rows that failed validation.

This operation is similar to opening and saving each rule or data instance. (In addition, some but not all RuleSet prerequisites and class restrictions are checked.) If an instance fails validation, the previous saved version is unchanged. MARTT 9/20/04

If an instance passes validation, the History tab is updated with your Operator ID, the current date and time, and current system in the Updated row. For rules, a history detail instance is added with your Memo and the notation Bulk Update.

Warning messages may appear. Warning messages do not indicate that the rule failed to validate or save. Use Application Preflight tool to see all warnings.

CautionYou can revalidate rules that belong to a locked RuleSets version, including RuleSet versions that form the Process Commander product. The History tab and history details are updated to reflect the successful revalidation; other aspects of the rule (as visible on the form) do not change. ZELEK 9/23/05
