Running the PPR Data Checkers

From the server runtime view, you can run the PPR data checkers to check and repair, when possible, the PPR data and inconsistent links according to different rules. The rules are defined by the external rule file specified when running the VPMDataChecker command.

Run the VPMDataChecker command as in Running the Data Checker: 

VPMDataChecker -user User –password Password -CheckAndRepair -outputfile OutputFileName -host Host -rulefile FullRulefileName
ParameterDescription
-userUser name to connect to the database. It must be an administrator user with full access to all data.
-passwordPassword of the user
-CheckAndRepairTwo-step execution mode:
  1. The PPR checker checks the PPR data according to the rules included to the rule file.
  2. The PPR checker repairs automatically the PPR data after the check.
-outputfilenameReport file
-hostServer URL
-rulefile

XML file describing the rules to be applied.

A list of error tags concatenated with commas is used to list the rules to apply.

The XML rule files for the PPR checkers are the following:

  • DataChecker_ImplementLinkPrdPrcs_Rulefile.xml for ImplementLinkPrdPrcsChecker
  • DataChecker_ImplementLinkPrcsProdSys_Rulefile.xml for ImplementLinkPrcsProdSysChecker
  • DataChecker_ImplementLinkProdSysRsc_Rulefile.xml for ImplementLinkProdSysRscChecker
  • DataChecker_PPRLinkDataRequirement_Rulefile.xml, DataChecker_PPRLinkProductFlow_Rulefile.xml and DataChecker_PPRLinkTimeConstraint_Rulefile.xml for PPRLinkChecker
  • DataChecker_MfgProductInst_Rulefile.xml for MfgProductInstChecker
