Determine if DataGroup instances are not valid in the current catalog system

This scenario involves a situation where you need to determine if there are DataGroup catalog instances in a file that are not valid in the current DataGroup environment.

DataGroup instances that are not valid are orphaned.

  • An orphaned DataGroup instance is an instance with a catalog name that does not exist in the current DataGroup environment.
  • If the catalog name exists but the catalog instance name does not exist, the DataGroup instance is considered orphaned.
  • If the schema names that make up the catalog do not exist, the DataGroup instance is considered orphaned.
  1. In the DataGroup Transformation Utility dialog, click Scan.

    The Source Catalog Mapping list box shows all orphaned DataGroup instances (displaying a warning icon).

  2. Use the applicable steps the procedure Changing a DataGroup catalog to remap all orphaned DataGroup instances to valid DataGroup catalogs.
