The system performs a pipeline configuration check before starting
a new pipeline process and at frequent intervals for each running pipeline
to be certain that the configuration for the pipeline is valid.
During the pipeline configuration check, the system checks to determine
if the pipeline has a valid configuration:
- Is the configuration for this pipeline the same as the configuration
in the Configuration Console?
- Are there a reasonable number of records for each configuration table
that pipeline use?
- Are there standard values in specific configuration tables?
- Are configuration identifiers and values set in specific configuration
tables?
If these configuration checks do not pass, depending on the severity
of the discrepancy, the system either logs a warning in the log files or automatically
shuts down the pipeline (or does not start the pipeline) and logs an error.
