Validate a connection and mapping

Prepare a connector and mapping version, then record validation of the exact revision.

Step by step

  1. Register connector profile Connector Administrator

    Connector Administrator records the organization's endpoint profile, effective dates and policy reference. The endpoint and credential choices are confirmed with the source and destination owners during setup.

    • Establish the endpoint context and effective dates
    • Updates Organizations, Connector profiles
  2. Draft integration revision Integration Owner

    Integration Owner gives the pipeline its number, owner, organization, connector and scheduled date. The definition begins in Draft.

    • Assign the owner, schedule and selected profile
    • Updates Integration definitions, People
  3. Set mapping version Connector Administrator

    Connector Administrator checks field pairs and transforms on the profile. Integration Owner records the version intended for this revision.

    • Identify the transform contract for this revision
    • Updates Source mappings, Integration definitions
  4. Validate revision Integration Owner

    Integration Owner starts validation. The workflow records an operation run and numbered steps, fixes the mapping version, opens a pending independent review decision and records the move from Draft to Validated.

    • Preserve the validation trace and open review
    • Updates Operation runs, Operation steps, Review decisions, State history, Integration definitions

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A profile points to the wrong organization. Check the organization link before drafting the definition.
  • A mapping version does not match the field contract expected by the destination. Review its effective date and transforms before validation.
  • The owner changes the mapping after validation. Treat that as a revised contract and request a fresh validation and decision.
  • A run has failed steps. Inspect the operation key, failure reason and step inputs before presenting the revision for approval.
