Running Mass Validate

The Mass Validate metadata utility enables you to validate, but not compile, metadata objects. Mass Validate will certify all as of dates created for filters, constraints, and data sets for the specified run date. This utility helps ensure your metadata is valid at run time and increases your chance of a successful engine run.

This topic discusses how to validate metadata objects.

Click the Select All button to run all of the engine options available.

Click the Clear All button to deselect all check boxes.

SetID

Select the SetID you want to run validate on.

As Of Date

Specify as of date for this run.

Only Imported Metadata

Select this check box to limit Mass Validate to only those objects which have their SQL counter field set to zero. Use this to validate any metadata imported into the database using the Metadata Migration utility. This metadata will not have a SQL ID when first imported. Also use it to validate any new metadata that has not been compiled. First validate the metadata and then run Mass Compile to compile it.

You can either select all objects, or individually select the objects you want to validate in the Metadata Type, Performance Management Warehouse, KPI Manager, and Workforce Analytics group boxes.

Click Run to run the Mass Validate process.
