Integrity Checks
An integrity check identifies possible problems that can occur during the
synchronization process. You must run an integrity check on a link before
you can run a synchronization task on that link. When an integrity check
passes successfully, you can enable the link and run synchronization tasks
on it.
You run an integrity check to validate a link when you:
➤ Create a new link
➤ Modify an existing link
➤ Modify the XML schema file for one of the link’s endpoints
An integrity check verifies both general settings for the link, and the field
mappings defined for the link. Each individual check within the integrity
check can pass or fail. The integrity check passes only if none of the
individual checks within it fail.
If you do not run an integrity check, or if the integrity check does not pass,
the link remains unvalidated and cannot be enabled for synchronization.
The Synchronizer generates a report for each run, which you can open by
clicking the View Report button in Execution pane (in the lower part of the
Synchronizer window). After an unsuccessful integrity check run, you can
review this report to identify which individual checks failed and to
determine how to fix the link. After the link is fixed, run the integrity check
again.
