Page History
The Designer supports you during modeling by displaying messages for invalid actions and implementations, and giving you advice on how to fix these errors.
| Info |
|---|
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 click button Reset Panels.

The list is sorted by error types:

Error Types
Three different types of validation messages are displayed:
Info
Despite of these messages, the project still can be compiled and deployed.
If the compiler reports a warning, you can deploy the service nevertheless. However, you should check the reported items in your service.
Errors are reported by the xUML Compiler, and refer to the implemented execution. If an error is reported, deployment is not possible.
Check the mentioned parts of the service, and eliminate the cause of the error to enable model execution.
Analyzing Validation Results
The validation panel is available in all editors, and shows Designer warnings () of the current editor, and xUML Compiler messages (
