Messages
This window shows a list of messages that are related to the managed policy or domain configuration. You can use the messages list to easily navigate to elements that have messages.
Messages indicate that a policy or domain configuration is not complete or that it contains incompatible specifications. Error messages and warning messages indicate the next steps you should take.
For a description of the columns in the Messages table, see Table 1. For a description of the actions listed in the Actions menu, see Table actions.
Actions which display the Messages window:
- OK (on a leaf)
- The element on the current page is checked for errors. The Messages window is displayed, showing the resulting errors and warnings for this element. You can click Continue to accept the validation errors or click Cancel to correct them.
- Apply/Paste/Delete/Reset
- The element on the current page is checked for errors. The number of messages on the right top is updated. To display the messages for the whole entity click on the Messages link.

An indication whether the entity contains errors or warnings is displayed in the Messages column of the repository table. To display the messages for the whole entity click on the link in the Messages column. The entity is opened in view mode and the Messages window is displayed. When the entity is already open in view mode, the tab is focussed and the messages which existed at the point of time, when the tab was opened are displayed.

Warning.
These messages are issued in situations that can prevent successful
completion. They are displayed if optional but recommended parts are
missing. Check whether the situation is OK or if you need to take
corrective action.
Error.
These messages are displayed if required parts are missing or the
specifications are incompatible. Policies and domain configurations
which contain errors can not be installed or activated.In the View tab, the Messages window lists the messages
that exist for the version of the entity that is listed in the repository
table. In the Modify tab, the Messages window lists the messages
that exist for your working copy of the entity. If you are working
with an entity in a View and a Modify tab, the Messages
window might list different messages because the list in the View tab
is not updated until you complete the following actions:
- In the Modify tab, save your changes, and then close the tab or apply your changes.
- Close and reopen the View tab and display the Messages window again.
