Validating Configured Filter Definition Files

You validate configured filter definition files in Oracle JDeveloper to verify that data, for each individual object including the individual fields defined in the filter definition file, can be queried in the Siebel CRM instance. This feature is useful for verifying that the correct objects and access controls have been set up in Siebel CRM for the Offline Client for Life Sciences configuration. When you validate configured filter definition files, you make Web service requests to the Siebel CRM instance. The requests are based on the filter definition files. Any Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) errors encountered are displayed in the log file.

To validate a configured filter definition file in Oracle JDeveloper

1. Start Oracle JDeveloper.
2. Click File, Open, browse to the activityfilter.xml file and then click Open.

   Product	Location of activityfilter.xml File
   Siebel CRM	CONFIG_PROJECTS_OP\appcfg_sync_80x\src\config

3. Click Tools, CRM Offline Client Utilities, and then Validate.
4. After validation, click Refresh in the Application Navigator window to refresh the file.

   A validation error log file called ValidationErrorLog.xml is created recording any errors. Double-click ValidationErrorLog.xml in the Application Navigator window to review the validation errors.
