Revalidation Task to Evaluate Data Validation Functions

The revalidate task creates a periodic, scheduled task that runs in the background to evaluate entity data against data validation function(s).

This task triggers validation on all the entities for which the Reltio/DVFAction LCA is configured.
Note: The revalidate task triggers validation on the existing data of the tenant and also on newly loaded data. After defining the validation functions for the newly loaded data, trigger the revalidate task to reevaluate validation functions.

The table below lists the details of scenarios when the revalidation task API is executed.
