Option to Hide Certain Warnings from RPD Consistency Check

Doug Ross

In a distant past version of OBIEE, there was an option to create a local parameter file with a list of RPD warning numbers that could be hidden when doing a consistency check. That went away at some point but I found it useful to help minimize the "clutter" in the consistency checker for issues that really are not issues.

Some examples:

39028 The features in database X do not match the defaults. This can cause query problems.

39099 Level X has at least one display key that contains multiple columns. Only the first column of a display key is displayed.

39097 Logical lookup column X has no descriptor column set. This will cause slower query performance.

39057 There are physical tables mapped in logical table source X that are not used in any column mapping.

In our current RPD development, we have to remember what the last warning count when we save an RPD to ensure no new issues were encountered. It would be helpful to selectively hide certain warnings that we know are acceptable.

This feature is in the roadmap. We will provide an update as soon as we have a timeline.
