Validation process

During the validation process, the system analyzes the uploaded XML from the .zip, and checks for invalid or missing references to other objects.

For example, if a business object has a pre-create workflow, the validation process checks to make sure that workflow is in the package or the system. If not, the system logs a warning against that business object.

When the analysis discovers more serious situations, the system logs an error against the object and renders it Invalid (shown in red with an Red circle with white X. Indicates that the object does not exist. icon). One example is when a business object type is changed from standalone to embedded. Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities does not allow this change; therefore, Object Migration considers it an error. You must resolve all Invalid objects before you can import the package.

Note: The system always validates all objects before it reports a successful or failed validation. This process allows the person responsible for importing the package to see all of the issues (warnings and errors) at hand.
