Checking data consistency

The consistency check provides different tests for analyzing data objects and to ascertain the current state of their data. In addition to predefined tests, you can define your own tests and, if necessary, run a repair.

You should run a consistency check at regular intervals, as well as after significant changes to the system configuration.

You can run consistency checks in the Manager and in the Designer. The following special cases apply:

  • Database tests are run in their entirety in the Manager and the Designer.
  • Table tests and object tests in the Manager check the application model data.
  • Table tests and object tests in the Designer check the data of the system data model.

Notes on the consistency check

  • It is recommended to run consistency checks with an administrative system user.
  • To use the Consistency Editor, the user needs the Option to call a consistency check for a database (Common_ConsistencyCheck) program function.
  • To use the repair function in the Consistency Editor, the user needs the Option to start automatic consistency check repair function (Common_ConsistencyCheck_Repair) program function.
  • Consistency checks of type Object test are always run in the context of the user currently logged in. If the user does not have any permissions for a certain object, errors may not be identified or repairing errors may fail.
