Content Validation

Enable Content Validation

About This Task

When content validation is enabled, each time a user navigates to Configuration Manager, a check will be performed to ensure that the baseline GE Digital APM content is valid. If the content is not valid, it will display a warning message. The user will have the option to export the invalid content or ignore the warning.

Procedure

  1. Access the Content Validation page.
  2. Select Enable.
    The GE Digital APM system scans your database for invalid baseline content and displays the results on the Content Summary section in a grid format. Both modifications to and deletions from baseline content are considered invalid and will be included in the list. It displays the following:
    • Content ID: The ID of the baseline content.
    • View Name: The property that will be used by GE Digital APM for recovering the content.
    • Type: The type of change occurred on the content. For example, if the baseline content is deleted, it displays the Type as Deletion. If the baseline content is modified, it displays the Type as Modification.
    Note: You can disable the content validation on a database on which the content validation is enabled by selecting Disable. The content validation for the baseline content will be disabled and you will no longer receive the warning message in case of a change in the baseline content.
  3. If you want to export the list of invalid contents to a .XML file, select Export.
    The .XML file appears.

About Accessing GE Digital APM When Content Validation is Enabled

About This Task

When you navigate to Configuration Manager in which Content Validation has been enabled, the GE Digital APM system will scan the database for invalid content. If invalid content in detected, a warning message appears indicating that the datasouce you have logged into contains invalid content and if you want to check the content.

When this warning message is displayed, you have two options for how to proceed:
  • You can select Yes to check the invalid content. This option is recommended. When you select this option, the Content Validation page appears, displaying a list of invalid content in the Content Summary section.
  • You can select the No to bypass the warning and continue using the application anyway. Using a system that contains invalid content is not recommended.
