The next logical step in setting up DIH for use is to refresh the Application Data Interface information. Application Data Interface (ADI) is a logical abstraction of the OFSAA Data Foundation (FSDF or OIDF) data model that you interact with as you use DIH for data movements. The “Refresh ADI” step reads the data model uploaded into your instance of OFSAA and creates ADIs. This step is relevant both when a data model is first uploaded into a fresh OFSAA instance and when the data model is subsequently uploaded with incremental changes. THE “ADI Refresh” process compares the existing ADIs with those based on the updated model and reflects changes appropriately with additional ADIs, additional attributes for existing ADIs, or new data types for existing attributes, as applicable.
To refresh the ADI list, follow these steps:
1. From the Data Integration Hub Designer window, select Configure and then select Settings. This Refresh Application Data Interface summary is displayed.
2. Click Validate Datamodel to validate the datamodel. If there are datamodel issues, the Validate Datamodel window is displayed. This validates and identifies the issues in values specified by the user-defined properties for the physical/logical view in the OFSAA Data Model. Once executed, the utility log errors/issues are identified.
3. You can search for an Object Name or Message. On validation, you receive a message. See the Data Model Validation Messages table for information on each message.
4. Click Export to export the data model validation issues.
5. Verify the information and click OK.
6. Click Start to start the refresh of ADIs. The ongoing ADI refresh is displayed as follows:
7. On successful invocation of ADI refresh, a message is displayed.
8. If you need
a detailed running log, click
download the log. A zip file is downloaded containing the detailed log
for the execution. To view the log details, extract the log file from
the zip folder.
9. You can check the status:
§ 
Failed
