Adding schemas, profiles, or mapping tables

To configure a GAIT session, you need to specify the following:

• Location of the GAIT executable file—The path to the GAIT executable file.

  Note:

  This only needs to be defined the first time you use the GAIT Session tool, if the path is no longer valid, or if you want to use a new file.

• GAIT projects directory—The directory where your GAIT project will be written. This parameter will not be enabled if the GAIT_PROJECTS environment variable is defined.
• Attribution schema being used—The data model that corresponds to the data.
• GAIT project name—The name of the project, which contains the validation information, such as the checks run on the data and the results.
• Inspection profile—The set of checks that is going to be run on the data. This is specific to the data model that corresponds with the data.
• Metadata mapping table—The metadata mapping table that matches the data model.
• Custom inspection file—Custom inspection file that defines custom checks. This parameter is optional and only available for GAIT version 19 or greater.
• Input data options—Options that define which data is validated: Run on editable layers and Run on edit workspace.
