This produces an exception report, which checks for data integrity of the Siebel Data Warehouse. This should be run before running Full_Load_Siebel_DW or Refresh_Siebel_DW. The results of the exception report can be used to make necessary corrections to the Siebel transactional database.
When this workflow process completes, you can view the results in the Siebel Data Warehouse Analytics Administration view. For more information, see Using the Exception Report and Diagnostic Views.
Refresh_Extract_Siebel_
DW_Horizontal
