The standard definitions
in the SAS Quality Knowledge Base are sufficient for performing most
data quality operations. However, you can use DataFlux Data Management
Studio to customize the QKB by modifying definitions or creating new
definitions for use with your own business data. For more information
about customizing QKBs, see the “Managing Quality Knowledge
Bases” chapter in the DataFlux Data Management Studio:
User’s Guide.
If you want to customize
your QKB, then as a best practice, you should customize your QKB on
a local workstation before copying it to the server for deployment.
When updates to the QKB are required, you can merge your customized
content into the updated QKB locally and deploy a copy of the updated,
customized QKB to SAS Federation Server. You must copy the customized
QKB to the directory on SAS Federation Server that contains the QKB.
This is usually the path reflected in the
dfs_entities.dtd file
in the
cfg.qkb_loc ENTITY. The QKB path is
enclosed in quotation marks. Here is an example:
<!-- Data Quality functions configuration -->
<!ENTITY cfg.qkb_loc "\\tstsrc\tst\dev\tst-v940m3\tktest\testmisc\QKB\CI24">
You
must restart SAS Federation Server to load the new QKB.
See the online Help
provided with your SAS Quality Knowledge Base for information about
how to merge any customizations that you have made into an updated
QKB.
