Checking the Consistency of
Metadata 
Use
You use this procedure to check the consistency between the business document type data in the CRM server and metadata in the mobile client. Metadata inconsistency occurs if:
· Metadata does not exist in the mobile client for the business document type data in the CRM server
· Metadata is not synchronized with the business document type data in the CRM server
You can check the consistency of metadata only when a connection to the CRM server is available.
Prerequisites
You must have:
· A user ID with the access rights of the system administrator on Microsoft SQL Server and DBOwner on the IDES database.
· Read and write access to the registry. Set the user database login parameters in the registry.
· A user ID and a password for the CRM server you want to connect to.
You must know the details of the CRM server you want to connect to.
You can get the server details in the SAP Logon screen.
