ADF  How to validate an old Record Only ... 

if you need to validate an old record only , In Oracle Entity object  - business rule you can validate new record only .

in this example we will check that user  can  set old salary value greater than 1000$ only

1- in EO Business rule set validation on Salary to compare Salary greeter than 1000$ .

2- in Validation Execution set Execution Condition :

import oracle.jbo.server.EntityImpl

adf.object.entityState != EntityImpl.STATUS_NEW

3- in Failure Handling set Error  Message  

Check Salary should greater than 1000$

Notes: in Groovy Expression you can check record Status 

we have Record Status 

STATUS_INITIALIZED

STATUS_NEW

STATUS_MODIFIED

STATUS_UNMODIFIED

you can check Status from EntityImpl Class

getEntityStatus() == STATUS_NEW
