Using the troubleshooting features and documents

The components of IBM® Rational® Insight sometimes have in-built features that help you validate the artifacts. Also, component-specific and product-specific documents contain troubleshooting information.
About this task
  • Data warehouse

    See the document for the relational database management system that hosts the data warehouse.

  • Reports

    Validate the reports as and when they are created by using the Validate Report feature in the Report Studio tools menu.

    When creating expressions, before you close the editor, validate the expression by using the Validate feature.

    See the Troubleshooting section in IBM Cognos® Report Studio User Guide, IBM Cognos Administration and Security Guide, and other IBM Cognos documentation.

  • Metadata models

    Use the Test feature of IBM Cognos Framework Manager to verify if the data sources and query subjects are working correctly.

    See the Troubleshooting section of IBM Cognos Framework Manager User Guide.

  • XML data configuration files

    Use the Validation feature of XML Data Configuration to validate the configuration. Errors are listed in the Problems view. Look at the description and fix the errors. If, even after correcting errors, some elements in the XML Data Configuration View still have an error flag, right-click the elements, and click Validate to re-validate the element.
