    Known issues (for ADM 2.0.0)


    1. [FIXED IN ADM 2.1 rev. 141001 (Update-1)] ADM requires consistent DMS database to clean it up. It could lead to ‘There was problem with setting/removing constraints. Please re-run the task’ error in ADM, when Analytics database with broken consistency is used.

    To check your DMS database integrity use the ‘DMS_integrity_check.sql' script from Download section, it will return all orphan entries in DMS database. To fix this violation by removing orphan entries, you can use ‘DMS_integrity_fix.sql’ script from Download section.


    2. After performing ‘Clean all Analytics Data’ task, it is recommended to restart all Sitecore instances connected to the cleaned Analytics database. Otherwise, it may lead to inconsistent Analytics database in future.
