Abstract

Embodiments perform configuration checking between data types of table fields, in order to determine mismatches therebetween. A configuration check request including a parameter identifying a system is received. A first data type is retrieved based upon the parameter. The first data type is compared with a second, different retrieved data type to determine a mismatch. In some embodiments the first data type and the second data type may be retrieved from different systems, with the mismatch revealing inter-system inconsistency. According to certain embodiments, the first data type and the second data type may be retrieved from a same system, with the mismatch revealing intra-system inconsistency. A configuration check report is generated from the mismatch and communicated to a user, for use in proactively correcting inconsistency. Embodiments may also retrieve values of the data types, as part of value help functionality.
