You can execute validation rules in many ways:
- Validate assets: Do this to manually validate assets.
- Revalidate assets: Do this after editing an invalid asset.
- Automatically: You can configure a workflow to start a validation on given events, for example, when a asset is added or an attribute is edited.
To configure triggers on certain events, go to Getting started with workflows.
Validation logging
Collibra can write extensive log messages from the execution of validation rules. These messages are written to the dgc.log file.
If the execution of a validation rule fails, analyzing the log is probably the most thorough approach. For more information on how to configure validation logging, go to Logging.
Tip When contacting Collibra Support regarding a problem with validation, attach the log file to the ticket.
