After the mapping runs, you can evaluate the data output to determine if the data conforms to the business rule that the rule specification describes.
Rules and guidelines for rule specifications and mappings
Consider the following rules and guidelines when you work with mappings and rule specifications:
•A rule specification is a reusable object. You can add a rule specification to transformations in multiple mappings. A Rule Specification transformation is a nonreusable object. You select a Rule Specification transformation when you configure a mapping.
•To view the list of rule specifications that you created, navigate to the Explore page.
•If you rename a rule specification that you previously added to a transformation, you must synchronize the transformation with the rule specification.
To synchronize the transformation, open the transformation in the mapping and select the rule settings. Data Integration displays a message that prompts you to synchronize the transformation with the rule specification.
