  • Show details Hide details
  • Description:
    After the tables are created on the database, an <ZH>initial record</>
    (also called an <ZH>initial entry</>) is written in
    the <DS:GLOS.364F05CAFBD02AB1E10000009B38F982>SID</> tables and in the
    master data tables of a characteristic.
    This test checks whether there are valid initial records in the
    <AB>SID</> tables and in the master data tables. Depending on the
    master data table, an initial record has different forms:
    In a <AB>SID</> table, the initial record has the following
    structure: The value of the characteristic and (if the characteristic
    is compounded) the value of the higher-level characteristic are blank.
    The <AB>SID</> field is also blank (=0). The three indicators
    <AB>CHCKFL</>, <AB>DATAFL</> and <AB>INCFL</> have the value '<AB>X
    </>'.
    For initial records in a
    <DS:GLOS.A4B8A6CE8643D51188040090273D34CB>P-table</> all the fields are
    blank, with the exception of the <AB>OBJVERS</> field, which has the
    value '<AB>A</>'.
    The initial record of a
    <DS:GLOS.15C7C0969E43D51188040090273D34CB>Q-table</> consists of blank
    fields, with the exception of <AB>OBJ</>VERS = 'A', DATEFROM =
    '01.01.1000' and DATETO ='31.12.9999'.
    In a <DS:GLOS.74BBA6CE8643D51188040090273D34CB>X-table</> all the
    fields are blank, with the exception of the <AB>OBJVERS</> field, which
    has the value '<AB>A</>'.
    In a <DS:GLOS.48F5E00CBF43D51188040090273D34CB>Y-table</> all the
    fields are blank, with the exception of the <AB>OBJVERS</> field that
    initially has the value '<AB>A'</>, <AB>DATEFROM</> = '<AB>01.01.1000
    </>' and <AB>DATETO</> = '<AB>31.12.9999</>'.

    Missing initial records are generated in the repair mode.
