The following table describes the elements of the Validation Options dialog box where you can review the rules that are available and specify which rules to enforce or ignore during the validation process.

Label/Field Element Description

Validation Options (Enforce Checked Rules For Validation)

List

Lists the rules that you can enforce during validation. Click a column heading to sort the rows. Select and move the border of a column heading cell to resize the columns.

Severity

Column

Indicates one of the following types of errors (and its corresponding icon):

  • Warning. The warning icon is a backslash (\) in a circle, which appears in the color Yellow.

  • Error. The error icon is an exclamation mark (!) in a red triangle. This error might cause a problem in Siebel CRM at runtime.

Rule

Column

Displays an integer that identifies the number of the violated rule. Rules are listed sequentially according to the rule number.

Object

Column

Displays the object type to examine.

Description

Column

Displays a description of the rule.

Enforce

Column (check box)

Indicates whether the rule is enforced or not as follows:

  • If this check box is selected, then the rule will be enforced. All objects, as specified by the Object column, will be validated.

  • If this check box is not selected, then the rule will not be enforced.

If you click the Enforce All or Ignore All button in the Validation Options dialog, then the value in the Enforce column changes accordingly.

None

Box (validation rule details)

Displays more information about the validation rule selected in the Validation Options list.

Save

Button

Once the list of rules to enforce or ignore is set, click Save to save the information to a text file. This helps if you need to review or share the information later with your team. If you press ENTER, and if the Validation Options dialog is open, then other settings are saved to a preferences file.

Enforce All

Button

Click to enforce all rules in the Validation Options list. Doing this selects the check box in the Enforce column for all rules.

Ignore All

Button

Click to ignore all rules in the Validation Options list. Doing this deselects the check box in the Enforce column for all rules and Siebel will not validate any objects.

Advanced Options

Button

Click to open the Advanced Options dialog where you can select objects to exclude from validations in Web Tools and the batch validation process.

OK

Click to accept and apply the specified validation options to the validation process.

Cancel

Click to cancel validation options or to close the Validation Options dialog.

Do Not Report Warnings Option

Check box

Select this check box to report only errors (and not warnings). Doing this also deselects the check box in the Enforce column for all rules with a Warning severity.

Abort Validation After <x_number> Errors

Check box

Select this check box and then enter an <x_number> so that object validation will stop after <x_number> errors are identified.
