Validating the package

When the import package contains only the objects you want to add to the system, you validate the package. In some cases, such as in packages created prior to IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.4, if there is no object label in the package, then the Validate action is necessary to determine the label and check for an object label conflict.

Procedure

  1. Click Validate.
  2. In the Objects panel, the system asks if you would like to process the validation synchronously (Wait) or asynchronously (Background).
    • If you select Wait, the status in the Property panel changes when the validation completes.
    • If you select Background, a notification is sent when the validation process is complete.
    • The Background notification shows in the Notification section on the Home Portal.
    • When the validation is finished, some of the objects in the Navigation panel might be shown in red. Note the Red circle with white X. Indicates that the object does not exist icon. This notation means that there is a problem with the object. To see an explanation of the problem, click the name of the object.
    • A brief description of the problem shows in the Objects panel.

Results

If any objects contains a red Red circle with white X indicating that the object does not exist icon after validation, the objects are Invalid and you cannot import the migration. Each invalid object must be resolved before you can import the objects into the target platform environment.
