During submissions publishing and report level content plan publishing, Vault validates the content plan as well as the published content and creates Submission Validation Result records. Vault creates one record for each validation criterion performed against each content plan item in the content plan.
Note: This feature is only available on RIM Submissions and RIM Submissions Publishing Vaults.
Viewing Validation Results
You can view validation results in several areas, primarily within the Content Plan Item’s validation results sections. The listed Validation Result (submission_validation_result__v) records include the Validation Result Status field, indicating a Pass, Failure, Not Executed, or Internal Error result. The Detailed Publishing Results section also provides troubleshooting steps to resolve validation failures.
Validation results are also captured in:
- A CSV file containing all results for that content plan item. To access it from the Validation Results record, select Download Validation Results from the Actions menu.
- The Open Validation Results field on each Content Plan Item record, reflecting the total number of validation failures.
Note: If your Vault contains existing Publishing Validation Result records, you must contact Veeva Support to enable Vault to capture validation results in individual Validation Results records.
Validation Result Details for Report Level Content Plans
Vault deletes values in existing Submission Validation Result records and creates new ones each time the Content Plan is published. Each Submission Validation Result record also contains a description of the error and the corrective steps required to resolve the error based on validation rules. See Report Level Content Plan Validation Criteria for a list of validation rules.
Validation Result Details for Submission Content Plans
Vault updates the Validation Result Status and Open Validation Results fields each time validation occurs. If you turn off Enable Continuous Publishing and then enable it again, Vault deletes and recreates all Submission Validation Results records. This allows you to update the validation conditions for a submission.
Submission Validation Results Archiving
Using the Validation Results Archival job, Vault can archive all Submission Validation Results records into a single XML file. You can then reference validation results without cluttering your Vault with unnecessary object records.
Job Frequency
The Validation Results Archival job runs daily, but only executes in the following circumstances:
- When the Actual Submission Date on the Submission record is more than 365 days in the past and at least one Submission Validation Result related to the submission exists
- When the Last Published Date on the Report Level Content Plan record is more than 365 days in the past and at least one related Submission Validation Result record exists, the Validation Results Archival job automatically
Job Details
When the Validation Results Archival job executes, Vault automatically:
- Generates the XML and adds it to a single archive package ZIP file along with the XSL stylesheet and all relevant CSV files from associated Content Plan Item records
- Adds the archive package to the Submission record or Report Level Content Plan as an attachment
- Deletes the archived Submission Validation Result records
The job archives all validation results possible and doesn’t delete Submission Validation Results records until they are archived successfully. Note that Vault only archives validation results for Content Plan Items that are in an Active status.
