Page History
The Designer supports you during modelling by displaying notes for invalid actions 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. |
The Designer constantly validates the contents in his editors. The validation results are displayed in the Validation panel.
The panel is available in all editors:
- BPMN Editor
- Execution Editor
- Mapping Editor
- Form Editor
If you use the panel preset, the validation panel is the second tab in the lower left corner. To return to the panel preset, go to the user preferences and use the button Reset Panels.

In the Validation panel, all problematic contents of the service are displayed, regardless of which editor they occur in.
The list is sorted by error types: First, the errors are displayed, followed by warnings and infos.
Application Options
The validation panel assists you during modeling. It indicates erroneous modeling and also gives advice on how to correct the errors.
Error Types
Three different types of validation messages are possible:
Info
Using the Displayed Information
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.
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.
The validation panel is available in all editors and shows all validation messages, no matter where they occur.
Example: You are working in the Form Editor. The following message is displayed in the Validation panel: The input parameter node 'message' (parameter = 'message') has no outgoing flows. Where is it used?
You want to know which input parameter node is meant, so you click on the message.
| 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. |
