You want to validate a metric in FDI that's not in predefined data validation. How do you validate?

• A. Create an OTBI report for the metric and compare it with the FDI value.
• B. Rely on the next automatic validation run in FDI.
• C. Ask the data owner to provide the metric value.
• D. Modify the metric in FDI to match the expected value.

Answer: (A)

When a metric isn’t covered by predefined data validation in FDI, verify it with an independent check using OTBI. Create a report for that metric in OTBI and compare the value shown in OTBI with the value captured by FDI. OTBI pulls from the same data sources, so this side-by-side comparison helps you confirm accuracy, spot discrepancies, and trace data lineage without altering any data. It provides a repeatable, auditable validation method that doesn’t rely on automatic runs or on someone else supplying the value, and it avoids changing the metric to fit expectations.
