When installing Semarchy on a PostgreSQL database, customers sometimes run into errors like this:

The purpose of this article is to explain and illustrate configuration steps for conditional validation. In the context of the article, conditional validation refers to an operation whereby validation for a secondary attribute is triggered/enabled when a condition on a primary attribute is met. The article extends concepts covered in our official Application Design Guide, and utilizes the best practice of combining a form validation (which shows useful information but is non-blocking) with a step validation (blocking), used when the user should be forced to fix an issue before proceeding.

When you create a new Business View for an entity, this Business View allows you to display data to business users in the front-end application.

In Business Views, you can add Transitions. A Transition allows you to add child entities and other objects so that you can provide more information to the business user.

What's a Transition?

For example, if your Business View is for Customers, you could add a transition to the child entity Addresses. This transition will allow the business user to browse Customers and then see all the Addresses linked to that particular customer record.

By default when creating and configuring Duplicate Managers a pre-defined Semarchy job is triggered starting with the prefix DUJ. This Semarchy job contains tasks that are not necessary for a duplicate manager to run, and can sometimes slow the performance of your batch job. If you are experiencing slowness when Confirming Matches, Merging Suggestion, or other related Duplicate Managers tasks, then creating a custom job can help to improve batch performance. In this guide we will remove the Delete tasks from Duplicate Managers, which add unnecessary extra time to your batch process.
