How to invoke a validation rule using a function in Data transform
How to invoke a validation rule using a function in Data transform. I have used Activity to validate rule. Is there any other method/function through which it can be used in Data transform.

Hi @Nandhini_k
We can't invoke Validate Rule from Data Transform rule, So that, you can include the validation rule in activity and invoke activity from data transform.
Thanks,

Hi @Nandhini_k I found this function alias as corrected by @Bhumireddy , which uses an Edit validate rule not a Validate rule which might meet you req:
@invokeValidate({property name}, {edit validate rule name}).
Do let me know if you face other issues with this.

Create an activity, use Obj-Validate method and pass a param for validate rule name.
In the Data Transform add Params(Validate rule name and message) use pxExecuteAnActivity method and call above created activity.

@Nandhini_k there isn't any function through which you can directly invoke validate rule (Ruel-Obj-Validate instance) but you can achieve this either by calling an activity in data transform or write a function for the same. May be give it a go for function and share us the result
Use this api doAction(StringMap aKeys, ClipboardPage aNewStepPage, ParameterPage aNewParam).
aKeys = Prepare a keyValue pair of rule-obj-validate class
aNewStepPage = your current steppage
aNewParam = parameter page

Hi @Nandhini_k,
Since Data Transforms can invoke Activities using @Utilities.pxCallActivity(), you can still reuse your activity that performs the validation:
Example: @Utilities.pxCallActivity("MyClass", "MyValidationActivity", tools)
Your activity should contain the Apply-Validate method to invoke the validate rule.
Drawback: Still uses Activity, just invoked differently.
