Re-load study data after each round of testing

  • Recommendation: If you integrate InForm UAT or TRN studies with DMW in the Development or QC lifecycles, re-load study metadata after each round of testing to ensure that you are always using the latest study version.

  • Rationale: InForm UAT or TRN studies might contain columns that don't exist in the Production study, or column properties that differ substantially. If there is a mismatch between the metadata in DMW and the metadata in the study's database, DMW doesn't allow you to promote the study to the Production lifecycle.

  • Additional information: You can run the Meta Data Difference Report to determine if there are differences between the InForm Production database and the InForm data model in the DMW QC lifecycle.
