Accessing output results for data rules, metrics, and rule sets

You can access output results from the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Analyzer My Home workspace, from the project dashboard, or in the Data Quality workspace.

The InfoSphere Information Analyzer Home Page and the project dashboard are the best areas to quickly get a summary of the results of all of the data rules, metrics, and rule sets that have been run. Here you can view summarized statistics for each item and then drill into details as needed.

The My Home workspace and the project dashboard will display the status of each data rule, rule set, and metric. A green check mark indicates that the result statistics were within the benchmark. A red exclamation point indicates that the job failed. A red "X" indicates that the result statistics are outside of 1 or more of the benchmarks specified. Multiple red "X" marks indicate that the results were outside the benchmark for a number of runs. There will be one "X" for each run, to a maximum of 3 representing the overall trend.

InfoSphere Information Analyzer My Home workspace
From the My Home workspace, you can view output results for all of your data rules, metrics, and rule sets by clicking on the configuration icon in the top right of the screen.
  1. Click Add in the bottom left of the Configure My Home workspace to add a metrics summary, data rules summary, or rule set summary to your home page.
  2. Click on the Metrics, Data Rules, or Rule Sets tab, depending on which output you want to see.
    Note: Data rules, metrics, and rule sets will each appear in their own summary workspace. There will be a Data Rules Summary workspace, Rule Set Summary workspace, and a Metrics Summary workspace. You can also click the All Quality Controls Summary tab, which includes data rules, metrics, and rule sets.
  3. Select the data rules, metrics, or rule sets that you want to include from the various folders in the configuration workspace and click OK at the bottom of the workspace. This will save the component to your My Home workspace.
  4. Move the components around on the My Home workspace page by dragging the headers to the area you want them to be displayed.
  5. View the status of each data rule, metric, or rule set, as well as any benchmarks you specified.
  6. Highlight the data rule, metric, or rule set that you want to see individual output for, and click View Results. This will bring you to the Data Quality workspace, where you can drill down to individual output results.
