Scan MD/MD Doctor

When working with Microstrategy there is a chance for the metadata to become corrupt.  There are 2 types of errors; Physical or Logical.  Scan MD is the tool to recover from logical inconsistencies where MD Doctor fixes physical errors.

The recommendation is that Scan MD be run a minimum of once a month to eliminate the inconsistencies.  This is especially true with a large number of developers all working within the same project.  One good example of how this corruption happens is if I am changing an attribute and have not saved it and someone else updates the schema it can cause the Atrribute definition in the metadata to become corrupt.

I have used an older version of Scan MD which tends to display a ton of errors some valid some not.  I have been reading up on a new version which was released with Microstrategy 9 and apparently eliminates these "false" errors.  This new version can be used with older versions of Microstrategy.
