GENERATING VALIDATION RULES FOR A DATA REPORT BASED ON PROFILING THE DATA REPORT IN A DATA PROCESSING TOOL

摘要

In one embodiment, the method includes profiling a data file comprising one or more fields of data. The one or more fields of data contain an item of data; that is, a character, or group of characters that are related. Further, the method includes generating one or more profiling attributes based on profiling the data file. In an example, the one or more profiling attributes refer to profiling information relating to pattern, structure, content and format of data. Further, the method includes selecting at least one of the generated one or more profiling attributes and generating a validation rule based on the selected at least one profiling attribute.
