Repairing Clinical Objects

Overview: Repairing Clinical Objects

When a clinical object is damaged and must be repaired, you receive a message. These are the objects that you might need to repair:
  • data standard
  • domain template

Note: A clinical object can be damaged when you export data standards or controlled terminology packages using Exportthen selectSAS Package or Exportthen selectMetadata in SAS Data Integration Studio. These methods are not recommended. Instead, create the data standard or controlled terminology package using SAS Clinical Data Integration.
