Rule
Represents a single data quality requirement that should be validated in the scope of this dataset.
Contents
Note
In the following list, the required parameters are described first.
- CheckExpression
-
The expression which includes column references, condition names followed by variable references, possibly grouped and combined with other conditions. For example,
(:col1 starts_with :prefix1 or :col1 starts_with :prefix2) and (:col1 ends_with :suffix1 or :col1 ends_with :suffix2)
. Column and value references are substitution variables that should start with the ':' symbol. Depending on the context, substitution variables' values can be either an actual value or a column name. These values are defined in the SubstitutionMap. If a CheckExpression starts with a column reference, then ColumnSelectors in the rule should be null. If ColumnSelectors has been defined, then there should be no column reference in the left side of a condition, for example,is_between :val1 and :val2

Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 4. Maximum length of 1024.
Pattern:
^[<>0-9A-Za-z_.,:)(!= ]+$
Required: Yes
- Name
-
The name of the rule.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.
Required: Yes
- ColumnSelectors
-
List of column selectors. Selectors can be used to select columns using a name or regular expression from the dataset. Rule will be applied to selected columns.
Type: Array of ColumnSelector objects
Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item.
Required: No
- Disabled
-
A value that specifies whether the rule is disabled. Once a rule is disabled, a profile job will not validate it during a job run. Default value is false.
Type: Boolean
Required: No
- SubstitutionMap
-
The map of substitution variable names to their values used in a check expression. Variable names should start with a ':' (colon). Variable values can either be actual values or column names. To differentiate between the two, column names should be enclosed in backticks, for example,
":col1": "`Column A`".
Type: String to string map
Key Length Constraints: Minimum length of 2. Maximum length of 128.
Key Pattern:
^:[A-Za-z0-9_]+$
Value Length Constraints: Maximum length of 1024.
Required: No
- Threshold
-
The threshold used with a non-aggregate check expression. Non-aggregate check expressions will be applied to each row in a specific column, and the threshold will be used to determine whether the validation succeeds.
Type: Threshold object
Required: No
