Project Validation

by ZD (@zsvoboda)

The project validation API checks a GoodData project for the most common errors:

• Referential integrity issues. For example an employee dataset references some non-existent record in the department dataset.
• Missing attribute values check tries to find an attribute values that are used in report or metric filters and that are no longer present in the data.
• Ambiguous or Transitive references between datasets. Report computation results are unpredictable when a report is computed in project where there are multiple ways how to traverse the project’s LDM from an attribute A to an attribute B.

The project validation API can be invoked at the following URL

The logged user must be associated with the admin role to be able to invoke the API.
