Validating data with batch jobs through the product library

LicenseLicense:

Batch jobs can only be run through the product library if you have Esri Production Mapping.

Reviewer batch jobs are created with ArcGIS Data Reviewer for Desktop and can be linked to the data currently loaded in your map through the Batch Job dialog box. You can associate several batch jobs with the product library and associate them with any of the following categories:

When you run the batch jobs that are stored in the product library through the Batch Validate tool, you can choose which product library and production database you want to use as well as the data model version. For example, if there are multiple data model versions in the product library, you can choose to only validate data for the data model version that matches the data currently loaded in the map.

CautionCaution:

The batch jobs must be associated with a data model version before running the Batch Validate tool. If they are not, you cannot choose batch jobs to run against the production database.

NoteNote:

The default checks are not run if the batch job you run on the data only includes database validation checks (Connectivity Rules, Domain, Relationships, or Subtype) or table checks (Execute SQL, Regular Expression, Table to Table Attribute, or Unique ID). This is because the default checks validate spatial conditions and do not include attribute validation.

Steps:
  1. Start ArcMap.
  2. On the main menu, click Customize > Toolbars > Data Reviewer.
  3. Start a Reviewer session in one of the following:
  4. Click the Reviewer Batch Validate button Reviewer Batch Validate on the Data Reviewer toolbar.

      The Please select a Production Database workspace dialog box appears.

    2. Navigate to the production workspace you want to validate using the batch jobs in the product library.
    3. Click Open.

      The Choose Batch Job(s) dialog box appears with the updated path to the production database workspace.

  8. If necessary, click the Version drop-down arrow and choose a different version of the production database to validate.
  9. Click the Choose Data Model Version drop-down arrow and choose the data model version that contains the batch jobs to run.

    The default checks are selected on the Reviewer Session Manager dialog box on the Default Checks tab.

  13. Click Run.

    The default checks and the checks included with the batch job are run against the extent you have chosen. When the batch job has finished running, a message appears notifying you of the number of records that have been written to the Reviewer table.
