Running the Application
When you pass a request to a Data Quality service, the service might return data that is standardized or validated. The service also returns status fields that indicate whether the service processed the data, and whether some fields in the data are valid.
When you run the application, the Data Quality service checks that the user and password are valid. The service checks that the user has a valid license for a Data Quality package. The service checks the number of rows that the user has available to process.
The Data Quality service returns a response in XML format according to the WSDL definition.
Each service might return validation information or standardized data. A Data Quality service returns the following values that describe validation results:
- Out_ Service _Status
- Overall status of whether the web service is able to process the data in the request. Value is Pass or Fail.
- Out_Status_Description
- Message that describes why the service did not process the data in the request.
- Other status fields
- The service performs validation checks on fields in the request and returns Valid or Invalid in the status field. For example, the Out_Card_Number_Status field shows the result from a credit card number check. The Out_Email_Status field shows the result from an email address check.
User Authentication
The Data Quality web service validates the Informatica Cloud user account. The Data Quality Service does not process the request if the validation fails.
When user authentication fails, the Data Quality service returns the reason for the failure in the web service response message. The Out_ Service _Status field in the response has a value of Fail.
The validation might fail for the following reasons:
- •The user is not a valid Informatica Cloud user.
- •The password is not correct.
- •The user is not licensed for the Data Quality package that contains the service.
- •The license does not have rows available to process.
