This chapter describes the RPASCE Planning Data Schema Diagnostic Tool called PDS Explorer. The PDS Explorer is a set of administrative web-based tools that an application administrator or system integrator can use to identify and review many RPASCE data schema issues. In this way, the system administrator or system integrator has access to the information necessary to take action to diagnose the issue related to configuration, hierarchies, and measure data. The PDS explorer tool is accessed by an ords-enabled web service shared during the provisioning by the cloud team on a new environment onboarding. Using the information provided in the PDS Explorer Tool, the administration user has a clearer understanding of where the issue is, which can help the user address the issue.
The Home page, shown in Figure 13-1, provides access to the following main pages.

This tab can be used to review the batch control files that were loaded to the given application using the online administration tools. The raw txt files are transformed into a table for tracking in PDS.
R App Id signifies the application against which it was loaded.
R TaskId is the internal ID that was created using the app name as prefix.
R Task Seq is an internal sequence used to track the group of R Task Id execution.
R Task Column determines whether the loaded batch control files are from ga or customer loaded/overridden.
R Task type are diff types of execution with batch control.
R Task params are the actual execution parameters
R Task Optional conditional values before executing the tag.
The following figure provides an example of reviewing a batch control for batch_weekly and all the underlying tasks it executes in sequence.
The Downloads page, shown in Figure 13-11, has one tab: Files. This tab lists the files, such as xml, template, and compressed rdm folder, that can be downloaded by clicking Download.
