2.    Select check boxes for components to be verified.

Note.pngYou can select Check Cardinalities independently of the Check All option. This allows you to verify the universe structure without checking cardinalities which may take a long time depending on the database.

3.    Clear check boxes for components not to be verified.

4.    Select the Quick Parsing check box to verify only the syntax of components.
Or
Select Thorough Parsing check box to verify both the syntax and semantics of components.

5.    Click OK.
A message box displays the universe check progress.

If Check Integrity encounters no errors, it displays “OK” beside each error type.

6.    Click the plus sign (+) beside the error type to view the list of components in which the error occurred.

7.    You can double click an item in the list to highlight the corresponding components in the Structure pane.

8.    Click the Print button to print the window contents.

9.    Click OK.
