Validating a Business Process Model

After creating a BP model, you can check to see if there are any errors or warnings in the processing code. Errors are critical issues and will stop the BP. For example, activities that are not connected or an incorrect number of output links from an activity will cause an error. Warnings appear when there is a problem, but it is not critical enough to stop the BP. For example, unused containers in a BP cause warnings, you can still build, deploy, and run the process.

To check the Business Process for errors or warnings

1. On the Business Process Designer toolbar, click Validate Business Process Model.

   The Business Process Validation dialog box appears.

2. If an error or warning is encountered, the dialog box displays information about the error or warning.

3. If there are multiple errors or warnings, the Next button is enabled, allowing you to view information for each additional error or warning.

4. If there are no errors or warnings, a message appears stating so.

5. After you have reviewed any error messages, click Close.
