Content Data Validation

Content that comes out-of-the-box with the Discovery and Integrations Content Pack uses standard libraries. However, user-defined packages might not be compatible with the standard APIs and can send invalid data to the UCMDB server.

To provide strong validation for data reported to the UCMDB server, UCMDB allows for additional content data validation before the data is sent to the UCMDB server, and indication of any invalid data. To perform content data validation, you can create validation Jython scripts and specify them in the dedicated configuration file, dataValidationlibs.xml.

The Content Data Validation module loads and executes sets of Jython scripts defined in the dataValidationlibs.xml file. The content data validation Jython scripts should contain the ValidateData function, which is the entry point for data validation execution.

For details about how to configure the content data validation Jython scripts, and for some examples, see Content Data Validation Jython Scripts.

To enable or disable Content data validation in UCMDB, see How to Enable Content Data Validation.
