mdm:dataQualitySteps element structure

The <mdm:dataQualitySteps> element corresponds to the Data Quality Steps tab in a Boomi DataHub model page.

<mdm:dataQualitySteps> has a child <mdm:step> element for each of the model’s data quality steps.

This example shows the high-level structure for an <mdm:dataQualitySteps> element that represents a business rule data quality step and a process call data quality step:

<mdm:dataQualitySteps>
   <mdm:step name="" type="BUSINESS_RULE">
   </mdm:step>
   <mdm:step processId="" name="" type="PROCESS" sourceCondition="" fieldCondition="">
   </mdm:step>
</mdm:dataQualitySteps>

Data quality step properties are represented by attributes of <mdm:step>, each of which corresponds to a column in the Data Quality Steps summary list in the Data Quality Steps tab in Boomi DataHub:

Attribute	Corresponds to	Valid values
name	Name column	any string
type	Type column	BUSINESS_RULE, PROCESS The model APIs do not support the type of data quality step that uses the Loqate or D&B data quality service connector.

<mdm:step type="BUSINESS_RULE">

An <mdm:step> element of type BUSINESS_RULE represents a business rule data quality step.

High-level example:

<mdm:step name="Validate Email Address" type="BUSINESS_RULE">
