Validating

The MDM validation plug-in checks that changes are made in accordance with the validation rules.

It runs in the background as you modify or edit the process.

Validation is triggered when the destination of the process is set to MDM. To do this:

Procedure

  1. Select the Process in the Project Explorer.
  2. In the Properties Window, click the Destinations tab.
  3. Set the destination environment to MDM by selecting the checkbox.

Result

All errors will show up in the Problems tab of the Properties Window.

Note: Validation will automatically occur if you import an existing MDM process into the MDM Process Designer for editing (since the process destination is set to MDM by default) or if you define a process from scratch using the MDM template.

However, if you choose to create a process from scratch without using a MDM template, you will need to set the process destination to MDM for validation to take place.
