Validation Service
- URL:https://<catalog-url>/<serviceName>/ValidationServer
- Operations:Evaluate, Update Errors
- Version Introduced: 10.7
Description
The Validation Server is responsible for exposing the management capabilities necessary to support evaluation of geodatabase rules.
The following rules can be checked against using the evaluate operation:
- Topology rules
- Batch calculation and validation attribute rules
The capabilities property is new at ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0. This property returns the capabilities that the service supports.

The validation server is tied to the published feature service; it shares service instance settings (for example, SOC count and time outs) with the feature service.
