# Current View and History View sources (Business Rule)

**Applies to**  
Platform: Microsoft SQL Server · Snowflake · Snowflake dbt · Databricks · Databricks dbt · Fabric Lakehouse · Fabric Warehouse · Oracle  
Architecture: Data Vault

These business rules check the source model objects in a dataflow set of a Current View or History View, including the Business variants. A dataflow set may have at most one PIT, needs exactly one satellite when it has no PIT, and may have no PIT when it maps the hash key of a Driving Key Link. Each rule raises an error, which blocks generation in the client: ID-20002, ID-20003 and ID-20005.

### Messages

Each message names the view and its type in place of `<model object name>` and `<type>`. The Generate Artifacts page lists the messages without the rule ID.

#### More than one PIT

The client shows an error with this text. For a Business Current View or Business History View, the details name Business PIT.

```
Model object '<model object name>' of type '<type>' can have 0 or 1
source model objects of type PIT .
```

On the model object card, point to the error icon to see this message with the rule ID: Error ID-20002.

Cause: a dataflow set of the view has two or more PIT sources.  
Fix: keep one PIT in the dataflow set and remove the others.

#### No PIT and not exactly one satellite

The client shows an error with this text:

```
Model object '<model object name>' of type '<type>' can have exactly
1 Source Model Object of type Satellite when no Model Object of type
of type PIT  is used.
```

On the model object card, point to the error icon to see this message with the rule ID: Error ID-20003.

Cause: a dataflow set without a PIT has no satellite source or more than one. Satellites here are Satellite, Link Satellite and their Effectivity and Business variants.  
Fix: keep exactly one satellite in the dataflow set, or read the satellites through a PIT.

#### Driving Key Link with a PIT

The client shows an error with this text. An Oracle rule uses the same ID, see [Oracle - Parallel degree and hash group size values (Business Rule)](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/oracle-parallel-degree-and-hash-group-size-values-business-rule?hsLang=en); the details tell them apart.

```
Model object '<model object name>' of type '<type>' can not have
source model objects of type PIT , if a Driving Key Hash Key is used.
Please contact our support.
```

On the model object card, point to the error icon to see this message with the rule ID: Error ID-20005.

Cause: a dataflow set has a Driving Key Link or Business Driving Key Link as source, maps its `DrivingKeyLink_HK`, and also has a PIT source.  
Fix: remove the PIT from the dataflow set and read one satellite, or remove the mapping of `DrivingKeyLink_HK`. The message asks you to contact biGENIUS support for this combination.

The Driving Key Link rule is available since Generator 2.0.

### Check the result

The error icon is gone from the view, and generation is no longer blocked by it.

### Example

In a Data Vault project on Microsoft SQL Server, the Current View `based_on_hub_with_pit_rcv` gets the PIT `load_based_on_lnk` as a second PIT source. The client shows:

```
Model object 'based_on_hub_with_pit_rcv' of type 'Current View' can
have 0 or 1 source model objects of type PIT .
```
