Changing ESQL validation settings

You can specify the level of validation that the ESQL editor performs when you save a .esql file. If the validation you have requested results in warnings, you can deploy a BAR file containing this message flow. However, if errors are reported, you cannot deploy the BAR file.

1. Switch to the Integration Development perspective.
2. Click Window > Preferences.
   The Preferences dialog is displayed.
3. Expand the item for ESQL on the left and click Validation.
4. Update the settings for what is validated, and for what warnings or errors are reported.
   See ESQL editor for details of the settings and their values.
5. When you have completed your changes, click Apply to close the Preferences dialog, apply your changes and leave the Preferences dialog open. Click OK to apply your changes and close the dialog. Click Cancel to close the dialog and discard your changes.
6. If you want to return your ESQL editor preferences to the initial values, click Restore Defaults.
   All values are reset to the original settings.
