In some cases, the state of Performance Management Architect applications may become out of sync with the Dimension Server, object repository, Shared Services, or target Hyperion product. This may occur if your database becomes corrupted or has had a restoration or migration failure. You have two options to troubleshoot application problems:
View orphaned applications. See Viewing Orphaned Applications.
Orphaned applications are applications that exist in the Dimension Server, but are corrupted or missing in the object repository. Although orphaned applications exist in the Dimension Server, they do not display in the Performance Management Architect Application Library user interface.
Run tests on applications that exist in the Application Library. See Running Application Diagnostics.
The application diagnostics tool enables you to run tests on applications that are visible in the Application Library. Orphaned applications cannot be accessed in the application diagnostics tool.
