Triggering validations while importing records

[Former Member]

Hi...

How do we trigger validations to validate records on import. If the record fails the validation, the record should not be imported. The validation is set to Callable = Yes and Automatic Execution = Error.

I do not want to use workflows.

hi Anoop,

>>>>How do we trigger validations to validate records on import.

as per MDM faq question: "Do validations work during the import process?"

let me quote:

"Validation rules don’t work during importing through the Import Manager. To execute a validation (or a group of validations) over newly-imported records you may use the API. In such a case a special flag during importing can arise and then the validations can be executed against an easily found record set."
