Skip data reference checking for a relationship

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

The Enable Data Reference Check flag in a relationship record controls whether or not this relationship is skipped when you run a data reference check. The Missing Reference Report utility only scans relationships that have this flag turned on. This mechanism is useful when you want to skip data reference checking for a specific relationship. For example, you already know that a relationship is defined incorrectly, you do not care about the relationship, or you simply want to skip certain fields of a file for performance considerations.

Note Some out-of-box relationships have data reference checking disabled by default. For more information, see List of skipped out-of-box relationships .

To skip data reference checking for a relationship, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Tailoring > Tailoring Tools > Relationship Manager.
  2. Perform a search to locate the relationship you want to configure.

  3. If the relationship has the Enable Data Reference Check flag turned on, click Skip Data Reference Check on the task bar.

    The Enable Data Reference Check check box is cleared. Also, an Enable Data Reference Check button appears on the task bar; if you click this button, data reference checking is enabled again.

    Now, if you run a data reference check against the source file or target file of this relationship, this relationship is skipped.

    Note The Enable Data Reference Check setting is retained when running the Build Relationships functionality. For more information, see Build relationships .
