Validating the Workflow Process

This task is a step in Process of Testing a Workflow.

You can validate a workflow process.

To validate a workflow process

1. Locate the workflow process you must validate.

   For more information, see Locating a Workflow Process in the Workflow Processes List.

2. Right-click the workflow process, and then click Validate.
3. In the Validate dialog, click Start.

   Siebel Tools displays the following message in the bottom left corner of the Validate dialog box:

   Starting validation

4. If the validation is successful, then there are no errors to report and Siebel Tools displays the following message in the bottom left corner of the dialog box:

   Total tests failed: 0

5. If the validation is not successful, then Siebel Tools displays a list of errors and the rules that each error violates. You can correct or ignore the rule.

   For more information, see Ignoring a Validation Rule.

   Every error is not fatal. Some errors are only warnings. For more information, see Troubleshooting a Problem That Occurs During Validation.

Ignoring a Validation Rule

If the Rule column in the Validate dialog box contains the number 98, then you must correct the rule. Siebel Tools uses the number 98 to identify an error that you must correct and cannot ignore. If the Rule column in the Validate dialog box does not contain 98, then you can ignore the rule.

To ignore a validation rule

1. In the Validate dialog box, click Options.
2. Locate the rule that Siebel Tools validated.

   For example, if the Rule column in the Validate dialog box contains the number 1, then in the Validation Options dialog box you can locate the rule that contains the number 1 in the Rule column.

3. Click Ignore.
