Small validation rules packages
Small validation rules packages can include deactivations of validation rules, reactivations of validation rules and changes to their severity status. The packages are published every quarter roughly 20 days before the reference date of the end of the quarter (i.e. around 10 March, 10 June, 10 September and 10 December). They can only impact framework release 3.0 and subsequent releases. Especially from release 4.0, for each deactivation exercise, we will need to publish the small validaition rule package to deactivate rules in taxonomy and in DPM in a consistent manner.
Where the small validation rules package includes changes to the severity of validation rules, the published material consists of the following items:
- A micro taxonomy package (containing only the set folder)
- DPM severity/deactivation status updates scripts
- the Excel file with the validation rules (available on the pages for the different reporting frameworks).
