Data Controller for SAS® - DQ Validations
Overview
Quality in, Quality out! Data Controller lets you enforce quality checks at the point of data entry, both directly via the web interface and also via Excel uploads.
Default Checks
By default, the following frontend rules are always applied:
- Length checking per target table variable lengths
- Type checking per target table datatypes
- Not Null check per target table constraints
- Primary Key checking per business key defined in MPE_TABLES
It is possible to configure a number of other rules by updating the MPE_VALIDATIONS table. Simply set the BASE_LIB, BASE_DS and BASE_COL values, and ensure RULE_ACTIVE=1 for it to be applied.
Configurable Checks
Check back frequently as we plan to keep growing this list of checks.
