As a POMBA user, I would like a rule to be able to process all the fields covered by that rule in one shot rather than one at a time (i.e., exiting the rule at the first violation).  Having this capability will make audits more useful, as a user wouldn't have to hit their violations in sequence by doing multiple audits.

If I understand correctly, the issue preventing this was one of how to report out on more than one violation.  A suggestion is to return a list of violations from each rule and use templated error strings.

For example, let's say we have fields vnf-name and orchestration-status in a VNF and we are comparing AAI and SDNC.

Currently, I believe a mismatch in the two vnf-names would cause the rule to stop and a violation to be returned and orchestration-status would not be checked.

The violation text itself is non-templated, meaning I cannot paste in identifier information into it.  For example, here is text of a current violation string:

VNF Name in AAI does not match VNF Name in SDN-C object record

Alternatively, the text could be:

%s %s in %s does not match %s %s in %s for entity type %s with identifier %s

{vnf-name, aainame, AAI, vnf-name, sdncname, SDNC, vnf, vnfid}

would be the data set used to populate the template the first time, then

{orchestration-status, aaiostatus, AAI, orchestration-status, sdncostatus, SDNC, vnf, vnfid}

is used the 2nd time.
