Run BusIenss Rules during transformation

[RahulY00040]

Hello team,

We had initially developed a Transform Map to transform data to ServiceNow CMDB. At that time, we had the configuration set to Run Business Rules as records get created/updated. Later, we changed this approach and started using the IRE calls from onBefore of Transform Map and we left this Run Business Rules check box checked. Now, our platform team has asked us to review this configuration and not to run the Business Rule during transformation run.

Upon initial review, I understood that when we run IRE calls in onBefore, all business rules run, and since we are not letting transform map to create/update record, this configuration of Run Business Rules - checked or unchecked does not matter. 

Can someone validate my understanding and correct me if needed.

Thanks,

Rahul

Hi @RahulY00040 

If the Run Business Rules option is unchecked, the system will not execute any Business Rules, notifications, workflows, or other server-side logic applicable to the target table.

Any insert or update operation performed on the target table as part of the transformation will bypass Business Rule execution when this option is unchecked.

You are right , onBefore transform script should not have any problem as it is validating/ executing before the run.
