The error message clearly explains the reason for failure of the training data. The details of the error are logged in the arextension.log file in ARSysteminstalldirectory\Arserver\Db. You must analyze the error description and perform a corrective action based on the error type.

Deactivating a previously trained dataset

Issue symptom

In a certain situation, a specific training dataset is obsolete and you don't want to use that trained dataset.

Resolution

You can deactivate the option for that trained dataset. For this, you must perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to Application Administration Console > Custom Configuration > Foundation > Advanced Options > Cognitive Service Configuration.
2. On the Cognitive Data Setup form, select Cognitive Data Type.
3. Select the training data set that you want to deactivate.
4. Change the Status to Inactive.

Additionally, if you want to delete the trained data for Application Templates, the option to delete the data set is disabled. To delete the trained data set, open the data set using Data Set ID on the form AR System Administration:Cognitive Service Training Data Set Pending.
