Pre-extraction Validation

Before beginning extraction, the IRC Portable Data Extractor performs a check to validate that the server is available, that the credentials for the user performing the extraction are valid and that this user has the required permissions on each of the objects to be extracted.

If any of the criteria cannot be validated, the IRC Portable Data Extractor displays the status Failed in the Result column. Click the link to view details regarding the cause of failure in the text box below.

If user permissions are not valid, the screen lists the objects for which permission is required as well as the permissions required for these objects.

Note: Pre-extraction validation is not supported for Lawson Insights, User Activity Insight for SAP, Authorizations Insight for SAP 3.1 or custom Insights built using the IRC Insight Studio.

If you are working with a custom SAP Insight, and want IRC Portable Data Extractor to carry out a pre-extraction validation for this Insight, you need to take a few additional steps.

Enabling pre-extraction validation for a custom SAP Insight

The Pre-Extraction Validation screen will not be displayed if the Validate User Account check box on the Specify Access Credentials page is not selected.
