Validating a Reporting View Definition

Use the Validate command from the View menu to validate a reporting view.

The Validate command checks each collection, type, and feature definition in the selected reporting view, to ascertain that each item exists in the associated schema. The results are displayed automatically.

To validate a reporting view definition

1. Select the Validate command from the View menu.

   The Validate View dialog is then displayed.

2. In the Views list box, select the reporting view that you want to validate.

3. Click the Validate button.

The selected reporting view is then validated and the results of the validation are displayed in the Views list box.

If your database has changed in the areas that have been included in your reporting view, any inconsistencies are reported. You may then have to change your view or recreate it.
