Invert Rule Test
The CompareToConstant, CompareToField, and MatchesRegex rules display the Invert Test parameter which allows to report the opposite results in the pass or fail file. This option is also available when you add these rules (see Add New Rule).
To invert a rule test:
1. Open an existing profile and select the Rules tab.
2. Select the rule for which to edit the Invert Test parameter.
The Rule Definition pane on the right, displays the rule details.
3. In the Parameters section, select Invert Test.
Select this option if you want to report the opposite results in your pass or fail file.
For example, the Compare To Constant rule that uses an equal Operator will pass a record and put it in the PASS_TARGET file if the field value is equal to the specified Constant value. Inverting this test will put that same record in the FAIL_TARGET file.
4. Save the profile.
