CMS Snapshot Analysis - Run Analyser - Fatal Error - Universal Analyzer - Invalid type name xxx not declared in metamodel

This page provides solution to error message - Invalid type name: 'xxx' (not declared in metamodel) which occurs during running Universal Analysis

1. Configure UA analysis
2. Run Analysis

1. Check if the object type for which the error occurs is present on the Knowledge base
   Run the below query for each object type
   

   select * from typ 
   where 
   typnam in ( '<object_type_found_in_logs>' )

   Example - following error messages were found for various peropleSoft object types in the log
   

   -> invalid type name : 'PSoft_Process' (not declared in metamodel) 
   -> invalid type name : 'PSoft_SQL' (not declared in metamodel)
   -> invalid type name : 'PSoft_AETransformOnly' (not declared in metamodel)

    

   Example

   select * from typ 
   where 
   typnam in ( 'PSoft_Process','PSoft_SQL','PSoft_AETransformOnly' )
