Troubleshooting and Common Questions

​

Reviewing Generated Outputs

When working with automated workflows, the first step in troubleshooting is reviewing the generated artifacts and their associated workflow logs. Astraea records execution steps so teams can trace how outputs were produced.

If a deliverable does not match expectations, reviewing the workflow history can help identify where adjustments may be needed.

​

Validation Findings

If validation reports highlight issues in generated datasets or documentation, review the mappings or specifications used to produce the outputs. Validation tools such as Pinnacle 21 are commonly used to check alignment with submission conventions.

Addressing these findings may require revisiting the standards mapping or analysis specifications used in the workflow.

​

Unexpected Statistical Outputs

Statistical deliverables such as tables, listings, and figures are generated from the Statistical Analysis Plan. If outputs appear incorrect or incomplete, verify that the analysis specifications referenced by the workflow are accurate and complete.

​

Ensuring Traceability

If teams cannot clearly trace a deliverable back to its source workflow step, review the execution logs associated with the run. Astraea is designed so each step of automation is recorded for review.

​

Maintaining Submission Readiness

Before finalizing submission packages, teams should review all generated artifacts, validation outputs, and documentation to ensure they align with internal governance processes and regulatory expectations.
