Concept: Validation Steps

Validation mediation steps enable you to evaluate messages as they pass through your integration. Workday Studio provides these

Validation

steps on the

Palette

:

Name	Function	Notes
eval	Enables you to evaluate expressions directly.
validate	Validates a mediation message to ensure that it adheres to an XML schema or a Document Type Definition (DTD), or that it contains well-formed XML.	On validation failure, either raises an error or discards the message, depending on the value of the Filter property. You can specify a custom error message. You can provide a schema or DTD for validating selected elements only, and select those elements from a mediation message by supplying XPath expressions.
validate-exp	Validates an incoming message using one or more MVEL expressions.	MVEL expressions are defined as a sequence of child elements.
validate-xpath	Validates a message using an XPath expression, which is evaluated as a Boolean.	Validation is considered successful if the returned XPath expression isn't empty.
