What is the first step when performing data validation in the FDI admin console?

• A. Run a sample validation job.
• B. Ensure you have the same data security privileges in the FDI instance and the source OTBI instance.
• C. Connect to a test environment.
• D. Update the validation rules.

Answer: (B)

Ensuring you have the same data security privileges in the FDI instance and the source OTBI instance is essential because the validation process reads and compares data from both systems. If your permissions aren’t aligned, the validator may not be able to access all the necessary data or metadata, leading to false results or permission errors. By matching privileges on both sides, you guarantee consistent access, so the validation results truly reflect data differences rather than access issues. Once this alignment is in place, you can proceed with connecting to a test environment, running a sample validation to confirm behavior, and then adjust the validation rules as needed.
