Saving a DQM Event

 

When the Event Review Form first opens, the Save Event button is red and there is a reminder to "Review the new Event and Save it before making any changes."

 

 

If after reviewing the results in the newly started Event, the user does not want to Save the Event, click the Back Arrow button, and then click Yes when asked about leaving without saving.

 

After clicking the Save Event button, the user will be prompted for a DQM Event Name. A suggested event name will populate the text box based on the DEFAULT_EVENT_NAME Global Parameter:

 

•If "DateTime", then "DQM - " plus the current date and time.

•If "Selection", then "DQM - " plus the dataset selection(s) made to start the event.

 

The suggested event name can be accepted as is or edited.
 

 

Clicking OK will save the event and the results of the Save operation will be displayed.
 

 

 

The DQM Event elements are saved to the following tables so that they can be recalled when the Event is reopened:

•The selections made during the Start an Event step:

▪ST_USER_REPORT – The USER_REPORT_ID is auto-generated during this Save step.

▪ST_USER_REPORT_PARAMETER – Each selection on the Start Event screen is saved as a report parameter and the current global parameter settings for the selected DQM QAPP are saved as report parameters. These global parameters will be used when the event is reopened if the DQM QAPP global parameters change.

•The Event Summary:

▪Each row in the Event Summary is saved as a record in the DT_NOTE table.

▪The USER_REPORT_ID from above is stored in the DB_RECORD_ID column to allow these records to be retrieved.

•The Exceptions:

▪All of the exceptions and associated results are stored in DT_RESULT_DQM.

▪The Event's Created Date is stored in the DT_RESULT_DQM.DQM_DATE column to allow these records to be retrieved.

▪The DQM suggested qualifier, reason code and remark are saved in the DT_RESULT_DQM columns of the same name.

▪The APPLY_QUALIFIER, APPLY_REASON_CODE and APPLY_REMARK are saved in the DT_RESULT_DQM columns of the same name.

▪The EX_OR_ASSO column tracks whether the result was an exception or an associated result.

•All Results:

▪The EUID of every result in the Event is stored in the RESULT_EUID column of AT_DQM_RESULT.

▪The USER_REPORT_ID is stored in the DQM_USER_REPORT_ID column to allow these records to be retrieved.
 

•The Event Errors:

▪Each Event Error is saved as a record in DT_NOTE.

▪The USER_REPORT_ID from above is stored in the DB_RECORD_ID column to allow these records to be retrieved.

 

 

These values are saved in the above tables when the Event is saved, which allow an Event to be reopened. DT_RESULT is not updated until the Event is Completed.

 

To distinguish from the "DQM Exceptions Report by EDD" User Reports, the ST_USER_REPORT.STATUS_FLAG of DQM Event User Reports is "D".

 

After the Event has been Saved, the Save button will change to black lettering, and the DQM Event ID (ST_USER_REPORT.NAME) will be displayed.

 

 

Re-Opening a DQM Event

From EQuIS Professional, when returning to work on a DQM Event, click DQM In Process Events from the Data DQM Ribbon to open the form (and select event from the In Process list).

 

 

A DQM event can be re-saved repeatedly during the validation process and re-opened to continue the review. This can be critical for data sets with numerous records that may require multiple days to review.

 

After changes have been made to an event, the Save Event button turns red again (see image below).

 

 

Click this button to re-save these event elements to the following tables so they can be recalled when the event is re-opened:

•Changes to the Exceptions, including Manually Applied Qualifiers:

oAll of the exceptions and associated results are stored in DT_RESULT_DQM.

oThe Event's Created Date is stored in the DT_RESULT_DQM.DQM_DATE column to allow these records to be retrieved.

oThe DQM suggested qualifier is saved in the DT_RESULT_DQM.QUALIFIER column.

oThe APPLY_QUALIFIER and APPLY_REMARK are saved in the DT_RESULT_DQM columns of the same name.

oThe EX_OR_ASSO column tracks whether the result was an exception or an associated result.

•Changes to Sample DQM Status:

oThe DQM_STATUS and DQM_STATUS_REMARK are saved in the existing records of DT_SAMPLE.

 

These values are saved in the above tables when the event is saved to allow an event to be re-opened. DT_RESULT is not updated until the event is completed.  

 

 

Click the Back Arrow button to send or return the user to the DQM Event Review Form.

 

 

 

Troubleshooting Error Messages

 

Specified Argument Was Out of the Range of Valid Values

Symptoms: Message received when selecting the Review All Results tab or saving an event:

Cause/Details: This error occurs when there are no results for the specified data set. One possible cause why 0 results are being returned is that DT_TEST_BATCH.TEST_BATCH_TYPE does not match the RT_DQM_CHECK_PARAM.TEST_BATCH_TYPE.

Resolution/Workaround: Confirm the dataset does contain results that match the QAPP values.

 

Exception Rows Failed to Save

Symptoms: Message received when saving an event:

Cause/Details: There are several possible causes for this error:

•RT_DQM_RULE.QUALIFIER or ND_QUALIFIER columns are NULL. In the cases where a qualifier is not appropriate, you may add the qualifier "NQ" to the qualifier field in the RT_DQM_RULE table. DQM does have an option to handle these NQ qualifiers by using the parameter set_NQ_to_NULL in the Global Parameters

•RT_DQM_QUALIFIER does not contain a record for 'NQ'

Resolution/Workaround: Please see the list of causes above to review the QAPP settings, along with data and reference tables.

 

Result Rows Failed to Save

Symptoms: Message received when saving an event:

Cause/Details: This error can occur with any of the following scenarios:

•Multi-value test_batch_type settings are used, but the data set does not have a single TEST_BATCH_ID assigned to each TEST_ID

•A combination of qualifiers separated by a space ' ' exist in the data set but that exact combination does not exist in RT_QUALIFIER, for example 'U J'

•A comma ',' in CAS_RN in DT_RESULT

Resolution/Workaround (possible workarounds for each of the above scenarios):

•Multi-value test_batch_type settings scenario:

oHave two QAPPs, one for ANALYSIS and one for PREP. Then, run the data set through DQM twice, one for each QAPP.

oMultiple test_batch_ids associated with one test_id can also be run in DQM without needing two QAPPs as shown in the DQM FAQs: General documentation.

•Qualifier scenario:

oCreate a new record for the combo+space qualifier, i.e. 'U J' in RT_QUALIFIER.

oRemove the space in the qualifier field in DT_RESULT, i.e. 'UJ'.

•Update the CAS_RN in DT_RESULT records to not include the comma ','. May need to create a new record in RT_ANALYTE.

 

Failed to Update SDG Status

Symptoms: Message received when saving an event:

Cause/Details: This error can occur when BOTH of the following occur:

1.An SDG is selected in the Data Set Selection

2.EITHER of the following exists in any DT_SDG.SDG_NAME in that facility:

▪a period (.)

▪unsafe SQL (UPDATE or DELETE)

Resolution/Workaround: One possible workaround is to update DT_SDG.SDG_NAME.
