  The following validation must take place only when a change is
  attempted to be registered on the source system rather than the
  target subsystem.
  
  Currently the failure is:
  "Target mismatch"
  "A change must be registered only at the target location.
  The target location specified on the compare panels
  is, mmmm.
  The change is being registered at the location, nnnn.
  Please ensure that these two match in order to register
  the change."
