Checking the Consistency of a Repository or a Business Model
Repositories in online mode and the business models within them must pass the consistency check before you can make them available for queries. When a repository or business model is inconsistent, a detailed message alerts you to the nature of the inconsistency.
Consistency check messages are of three types—error, warning, and informational:
- Consistency error messages indicate errors that need to be fixed. Use the information in the message to correct the inconsistency, and then run the consistency check again.
- Consistency warning messages indicate conditions that may or may not be errors, depending upon the intent of the Siebel Analytics Server administrator. For example, a warning message about a disabled join may be the result of the administrator intentionally disabling a join, such as eliminating a circular join condition.
- Consistency informational messages provide information about conditions but do not indicate an inconsistency. The following is an example of an informational message:
Fact table does not contain logical key.
To check the consistency of a repository
- In the Administration Tool, select File > Check Global Consistency.
An informational message will alert you if the repository is consistent.
If the repository is not consistent, a more detailed message will display that contains information about the nature of the inconsistency. For example, if you created a business model that does not have a corresponding presentation catalog, a message will alert you and you will be prompted to create one.
- Edit the repository to correct any inconsistencies and run the consistency check again.
To check the consistency of a business model within a repository
- Select a business model and right-click to open the shortcut menu.
- Select the option Check Consistency.
An informational message will alert you if the subject area is consistent.
If the business model is not consistent, a more detailed message appears that contains information about the nature of the inconsistency. For example, if you created a business model that does not have a corresponding presentation catalog, a message will alert you and you will be prompted to create one.
- Edit the business model to correct any inconsistencies and run the consistency check again.
