Assert shape
Introduction
You can use the assert shape is typically used for testing purposes -you can define a static payload which is used to validate that the current payload (i.e. the payload generated up to the point that the assert shape is encountered) is as expected.
A single incoming payload for any process flow shape should not exceed 500MB.
We recommend processing multiple, smaller payloads rather than one single payload (1000 x 0.5MB payloads are more efficient than 1 x 500MB payload!).
For payloads up to 500MB, consider adding a flow control shape to batch data into multiple, smaller payloads. Payloads exceeding 500MB should be batched at source.
Accessing assert payload shape settings
To view/update the settings for an existing assert shape, click the associated 'cog' icon:

This opens the options panel - for example:

Configuring settings for a new assert shape
To configure an assert shape, all you need to do is paste the required payload and save the shape for example:

An assert shape can only be saved if a payload is present. If you add an assert payload shape but don't have the required payload immediately to hand, you can just enter {}
and save.
