Processing consistency validations of configuration data

A system comprising:

• at least one hardware data processor;
• and
• memory storing executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one hardware data processor causes the at least one hardware data processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving configuration data characterizing configuration information of at least one application process executing on a target system, the configuration data including at least one first table and at least one second table upon which the first table depends, the receiving performed prior to transmission of the configuration data to the target system for application of the configuration data to the target system;
• determining, using the configuration data, at least one validation definition including a header and table elements specifying a dependency of the first table on the second table;
• determining, using the at least one validation definition, whether to validate the configuration data to ensure consistency within the target system, the determining whether to validate including determining to validate the configuration data in response to determining that the second table has been modified;
• and
• providing the determination of whether to validate the configuration data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by at least one hardware data processor forming part of at least one computing system, causes the at least one hardware data processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving configuration data characterizing configuration information of at least one application process executing on a target system, the configuration data including at least one first table and at least one second table upon which the first table depends, the receiving performed prior to transmission of the configuration data to the target system for application of the configuration data to the target system;
• determining, using the configuration data, at least one validation definition including a header and table elements specifying a dependency of the first table on the second table;
• determining, using the at least one validation definition, whether to validate the configuration data to ensure consistency within the target system, the determining whether to validate including determining to validate the configuration data in response to determining that the second table has been modified;
• and
• providing the determination of whether to validate the configuration data.
