Data Checker Utility

The Data Checker Utility User Guide describes the Data Checker utility, which allows data consistency checks written in PML to be added to Design quickly and easily.

The Checker utility provides:

• A standard user interface for data consistency checks written in PML.

• Standard reporting, to screen and file, of the results of a data consistency check.

• The ability to add new checking functions tailored to company or project working practices.

• Navigation in the database to elements that have failed the checks, by simply picking on part of the on-screen report.

You can add their own customized check functions to any standard data consistency checks provided by AVEVA. A check function is a PML function which tests selected elements in the database, and reports back to the Checker utility whether the element has passed or failed the tests.

The Data Checker Utility User Guide does not describe how to program in PML. Before reading the customization chapters of this user guide you should be familiar with PML facilities. Refer to the Software Customization Guide for further information.
