Normalize option: Do not fix missing relationships (not recommended)

Peter DeGregorio

Hello, 

Would you please explain exactly what procedure configure action Data Read > Relationships > Normalize option "Do not fix missing relationships (not recommended)" does? There's a double negative in there ... is the recommendation to always check that box? That fixing relationships is not recommended and to therefore not do it, so check the box?

Thank you,

Pete

Dear Peter DeGregorio,

 

in the procedure, make sure that you tick "Do not fix missing relationships (not recommended)".

The interface of the procedure step Normalize is a bit misleading: with that command, you need to tick "Do not fix missing relationships (not recommended)" to have the Normalize running the same way as if you run it manually from the Relationships tab.By ticking that option you disable the creation of missing items (the Fix Relationships). Therefore it is advisable to flag it.
If you point over it with the cursor, you will see a tooltip saying that you are disabling the Fix Relationship option.

 

Regards,

Leone
