      Automated Configuration of Model Audit

      Shows how Deep Space Model Audit configures itself automatically and how you can modify settings

      This document describes the recommended way to configure Deep Space for automated model audit.

      Model Audit Automatic Configuration

      Before the Model Audit datasets are refreshed, an automated procedure for Preflight Model Audit settings is run.

       

      This procedure takes the following steps automatically:

      • Sets Control File and Makes Sure Only 1 x Control File Exists

      • Creates Dataset Refresh Log
