Connector configuration check

Configuring the Connector involves a chain of tasks. The Connector Configuration Check enables you to check each link in that chain to ensure that they are correctly configured, and that the mappings between the source database and Designer model are valid. The Connector Configuration Check produces a report that displays a hierarchical view of the dependencies between measures, measure dimensions, fact tables, and cubes.

You create the overview in the Validation dialog, which has three tabs, Measures, Measure Dimensions, and Cubes on which you configure the mappings to check. The tabs depend on one another. For example, if you select a measure, the associated measure dimensions and cubes are selected.

To run the connector configuration check:

  1. Select File > Connector Configuration Check. The Validation dialog is displayed.
  2. Select the measures, measure dimensions and cubes to check.
  3. Click OK.
    The results are displayed. They show a hierarchical view of the mappings and highlight unmapped elements and invalid mappings.
  4. Click OK, to close the overview.
  5. Optionally, save the results as an HTML report.
    1. Click Save report as HTML.
    2. Browse to where to save the report and click OK.
