The Designer constantly validates the BPMN process and the implemented execution. The validation results are displayed in the Validation panel.

So the panel supports you during modelling by displaying notes for invalid actions on both panes giving you advice on how to fix the errors.

Note

You cannot deploy and start a process service that still has validation errors. You need to resolve them first.

If you use the panel preset, the validation panel is the second tab in the lower left corner.

Info

The info icon indicates a problem in the model. Use the infos given in the validation panel to check the mentioned elements in your model. It will still be possible to compile and deploy the project.

Image Removed

WarningWarnings are displayed if the compiler reports a warning but you can deploy the service nevertheless. You should check your execution model anyway.

Image Removed

ErrorIf an error is thrown, deployment is not possible. Check the mentioned parts of the execution model and eliminate the cause of the error to enable model execution.

Using the Displayed Information

Image Removed

The validation messages describe the error and thus also provide information on how to solve the problem.

Image Removed

The items in the validation panel are links. If you click on a message...

  • ... the affected element is selected on the diagram pane.
  • ...all messages concerning this element are highlighted.

Image Removed

This also works vice versa: Click an element on the pane to highlight all messages concerning this element.

Image Removed

It also applies to the content of the execution pane. If you click on a message...

  • ... the affected element is selected on the execution pane.
  • ...all messages concerning this element are highlighted.
  • ...the associated BPMN element is also selected on the diagram pane.

Tip

Sometimes you want to share a validation message with another developer.

Highlight the displayed message (or the part you want to share) with mouse over or a double click. Copy the highlighted content to your clipboard with CTRL+C. Use CTRL+V to paste it, e.g. to an email or a chat room.
