The Repository Analysis page provides information about the source database so that decisions can be made that affect size and objects in the new database. The Analysis Summary section provides an overview of the analysis. The space requirements are broken down into different segments and are given as a whole so that the user can better understand the space requirements for the new database. Sizing found here is automatically applied to the Repository User and Data File settings page. The Object Analysis section displays outstanding issues that need to be addressed prior to moving on with the upgrade.
Versions –– Displays the versions and provides the opportunity to deselect versions that should not be included in the upgrade. Deselecting a version affects the space and count values in the Summary section.
Exports –– Displays any exports that need special attention. Exports that require an External Connection for results or other external files are included here. Exports that are no longer supported, such as custom exports, are included here as well. If no External Connection is provided, the export is configured as a client file export. For more information on External Connection, see Working with External Connections.
Books –– Displays books that require an External Connection for combined files, Pre files, and or Post files. If no External Connection is provided, the export is configured without utilizing a combined file. For more information on External Connections, see Working with External Connections.
Imports –– Displays imports that require an External Connection for its input file. If no External Connection is specified, the import is configured as using a client input file. For more information on External Connections, see Working with External Connections.
Invalid Property References –– Displays property references that may cause unexpected behavior in the Data Relationship Management system. These invalid references are generally only caused by updating the Data Relationship Management database directly. The following scenarios are included here.
For the following scenarios, during repository analysis, the property definition is flagged and the record is not copied to the upgraded database.
A global property that has been referenced in Property_Local table as a local property
A local property that has been referenced in Property_Global table as a global property
For the following scenarios, during repository analysis, the property definition is flagged to alert the user only. The property definition is copied to the upgraded database as it exists in the source database but should be reviewed for validity.
A derived global property that contains a deriver parameter that references a local property
A global formula property that contains a formula that references a local property in one of the following formula methods:
IsRangeListSubset
NodePropValue
OrigPropValue
ParentPropValue
