hi,

would you recommend to do validation in xI?

for example , check if specific field contains more/less then x charachters? date is recieved in the right format , etc ....

if yes how would you implement it?

Hi Udi,

>>>>would you recommend to do validation in xI?

That depends on your scenario and its requirements. Usually the receiving application checks the business content and if it cant handle the data an exception should be raised. In case of synchronous communictation it should be easy to inform the sender about error/success; in case of asynchronous communication acknowledgements are used for that (more difficult). Additional you can configure alert categories and rules.

Doing validations at XI is - in my point of view - doubtful because of redundance. The tasks of XI are routing, mapping, controlling (BP) messages, not doing the applications work. In case of special requirements a validation can be recommentable - of course.
