DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.7: User Guide
If a QKB has been registered, it can be accessed from the Administration riser in the main window of DataFlux Data Management Studio.
Click the Administration riser. Select the Quality Knowledge Bases folder to see a list of registered QKBs on the right, as shown in the next display.
View a list of registered QKBs
In the right panel, double-click the QKB you want to access, such as Contact Info 24 in the previous display. The top-level folder for that QKB appears in the tree on the left. Expand the folder to display a tree of the locales that are supported locales for the QKB. The Global item is the root of the tree, as shown in the next display.
Global Object for a QKB
On the left, under Global, locales are organized in a hierarchy according to their language. To view the locales associated with a language, expand the tree under that language item. For example, expand English. The English-language locales in the QKB will appear, as shown in the next display.
List of English-language Locales in the QKB
In the example above, English (Canada) has a + next to the flag. This indicates that there is another language locale available for Canada, in this case French (Canada), as shown in the next display.
Additional Locale Available for Canada
If a QKB icon in the tree has a black lock overlay, it means that the QKB is locked and cannot be opened for editing. In the next display, the Contact Info 24 QKB is locked.
Contact Info 24 QKB Is Locked
A QKB is locked if it is in a read-only directory or if it is already opened for editing by another user. If you try to open a locked QKB, you will see a message indicating that you cannot open the QKB for editing, but you can open the QKB for browsing.
If the QKB is not open, right-click the locale that you want to open, such as English (United States) in the previous display. A context menu displays. The following table describes the options in the menu.

These objects include definitions and data types, plus libraries that are used to construct definitions. Definitions and data types can be browsed and edited in the Quality Knowledge Base tab. The various types of libraries in a QKB have separate tabs: Schemes, Chop Tables, Phonetics Libraries, Regex Libraries, Vocabularies, and Grammars.
