Troubleshooting Table-Pair Tests

Troubleshooting Table-Pair Tests

Table-pair tests can fail for different reasons. Review the tips to help you troubleshoot table-pair tests.
Review the following troubleshooting tips for table-pair tests:
The table-pair test fails.
If the Data Validation Option target folder in the PowerCenter Designer or the PowerCenter Workflow Manager is open, Data Validation Option cannot write to the folder and the tests fail. Before you run tests, verify that the target folder is closed in the PowerCenter Designer and the PowerCenter Workflow Manager.
Data Validation Option creates a bad record during a table-pair test when one of the values is empty.
If you compare two fields where one field has a value and the other is empty, Data Validation option considers the record as a bad record. If the repository is on Oracle, the database stores an empty field as NULL. A bad record with NULL value in an Oracle repository can be either NULL or an empty field.
The table join failed for a table pair that has a file list connection.
If you specify a file list connection and the keys in the join condition are not unique among all files in the file list, the join fails. Choose keys that uniquely identify records among all files in the file list.
