Validate Tool


The Validate Tool is an error correction tool that you can use before you simulate or deploy a workflow process. It enforces the semantic consistency of a workflow process. For example, you can use validation to make sure an error workflow process does not itself contain an error workflow process. When you validate a workflow process, Siebel Tools displays warnings that describe errors that the workflow process contains. The validation dialog box allows you to fix errors before you run the Process Simulator or publish the workflow process. This dialog box is modeless which means that you can keep it open to view the error messages while you use the Process Designer to correct the problems that the dialog box reports. You can proceed with deployment without fixing these validation errors.

You can do one of the following to start the validate tool:

  • Use the right-click menu in the Process Designer or the Workflow Processes list.
  • Use the Publish button or the Publish/Activate button on the WF/Task Editor Toolbar. For more information, see Using the Workflow Task Editor Toolbar.
