Action Rules

Action rules are used as validation rules in Redwood Finance Automation. They run to check and validate results of a process and run in its post running phase.

In general these action rules process data from an input format and put the result in an output format.

Validation rules in Redwood Finance Automation often work in a negative logic. Like in mathematics, where it is often easier to find an example which invalidates a hypothesis, validation rules in Redwood Finance Automation work the same way.

So, instead of validating that column A has always the same value as column B, it is equivalent to validate that there is no record in column A and column B where the values are different.

If one example is found, the validation rule can return an appropriate return code.

In some rules it can be specified if a return code should be returned or not. Also, it is possible to switch to the more natural logic which returns a return code of 0 if a certain check was positive.

In the following sections the general syntax is explained, as well as the available action rules which fulfill certain purposes.
