Check Database Consistency Web Service

Overview

The Fusion Metadata Registry (version 11), stores maintainable structures in a number of forms within its database. It is extremely unlikely that these formats become inconsistent, but a mechanism exists to check that the various forms are consistent.

Detail

The Fusion Metadata Registry stores structure metadata in the following tables:

• registry_maintainable_ser: the Java serialised form of the structure. This is loaded on application startup since it is faster than constructing a new Java object from the XML.
• registry_maintainable_sdmx: the SDMX-ML form of the individual metadata structure
• tx_backup: the SDMX-ML form of structures, grouped together by the transaction they were submitted within rather than storing each structure individually.

Check Database Consistency Web Service

Entry Point	/ws/secure/structure/databaseconsistency
Access	Secure
Http Method	GET
Response Format	JSON
Response Statuses	200 - Success 400 - Unauthorized

Note: Because the service has to talk to the back-end database, it may take a while to run. The time taken depends upon the speed of connection to the database and the number of structural metadata within your Registry.

Example Output

The Web Service produces JSON output like the following:

{
  "Consistency": false,
  "MaintainablesChecked": 2053,
  "DifferingSdmx": [
    "[]"
  ],
  "DifferingTxn": [
    "[urn:sdmx:org.sdmx.infomodel.codelist.Codelist=SDMX:AAA(1.0)]"
  ]
}
