Generating a data rule from a rule definition

After you create rule definition logic, you can create a data rule to analyze real data in your projects.

Procedure

  1. From the Develop icon on the Navigator menu, select Data Quality.
  2. Highlight the rule definition that you want to generate a data rule from.
  3. In the Tasks menu on the right side of the screen, click Generate Data Rule or Rule Set.
  4. On the Overview tab, type a name for the data rule. The name must contain at least one character and cannot contain the slash (\) character. The name must be unique in your project.
  5. Optional: Type a short description and long description of your data rule. The Created By, Created On, and Last Modified fields are automatically populated after you create and save your data rule. You can optionally provide information into the Owner and Data Steward fields.
  6. Optional: Decide if you would like to set a validity benchmark for your data rule. Benchmarks quantify the quality of your data, as well as monitor your data. Click the Monitor Records Flagged by One or More Rules check box in the Validity Benchmark box, if you would like to monitor records that are marked for other rules in your project.
  7. At the top of the workspace, switch from the Overview tab to the Bindings and Output tab.
  8. Click Save to create the data rule.

What to do next

At this point you have saved details about the data rule, but you have not set any of the functionality. Click the Bindings and Output and set the bindings, join keys, and output for your data rule.
