Run a data reference check against selected files

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

Once you have enabled data reference check for desired files, you can run a data reference check against them to find out invalid records associated with them.

Note The Missing Reference Report utility can detect only missing references to fields of either the number or character data type (including number or character fields in arrays). Other data types, such as logical and date/time, are not supported.

To run a data reference check, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Tailoring > SQL Utilities > Missing Reference Report.
  2. Click Fill to select the files you want to check.
  3. Optionally, select the Check LOB fields option to also check fields that are mapped to a large object (LOB).

    Caution Enabling this option may impact your system performance if the selected files have a large number of LOB field values.

  4. Click Generate.

    A message is displayed, indicating that the reference check job is scheduled. When the processing of a file is finished, a message is displayed, indicating the progress.

    You can continue to view the job status, as well as the status of other data reference check jobs. See View the status of existing data reference checks.
