The Designer supports you during modeling by validating the service and displaying messages for invalid implementations, and giving you advice on how to fix these errors.
There are two different ways to validate a service:
If auto validation is enabled in the service properties of the service details, the Designer constantly validates the service implementation. For further information on how to enable and disable the auto validation, see Editing the Service Properties. | |
You can trigger a validation run (compilation) manually via the button icon
After clicking this button, the Validation panel opens (if it is not already open). During the validation a spinner is shown. When the validation is done, the validation results (see error types) are displayed here. |
The validation results are displayed in the Validation panel. It is available in all editors: 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. Refer to Customizing Editors and Panels for detailed information about panel management in general. In the Validation panel, validation findings of a service are displayed. The icon in the panel header indicates if there are any validation issues: There are validation issues. You need to resolve these issues before being able to deploy the service. The list is sorted by error types: You cannot deploy and start a process service that still has validation errors. You need to resolve them first. Three different types of validation messages are displayed: Info Errors are reported by the xUML Compiler, and refer to the implemented execution. If an error is reported, deployment is not possible. The validation panel is available in all editors, and shows Designer warnings ( The items in the validation panel are links. If you click on a message... Regarding the execution pane, it works the same way. If you click on a message... Sometimes you want to share a validation message with another developer. Select the displayed message (or the part you want to share) with your mouse or a double-click. Now you can copy and paste the highlighted content, e.g. to an email or a chat.
Everything is fine. The service is ready to be deployed. 
The validation is in progress. Wait to get the result. 
Error: xUML Compiler errors
Warning: xUML Compiler warnings
Info: Designer warningsError Types
Icon Error Type Description Designer warnings are labeled with the info icon. They relate to the active editor (BPMN, form, ...), and indicate that there is a problem in the model.
Despite of these messages, the project still can be compiled and deployed.Warning Warnings are reported by the xUML Compiler, and refer to the implemented execution.
If the compiler reports a warning, you can deploy the service nevertheless. However, you should check the reported items in your service.Error
Check the mentioned parts of the service, and eliminate the cause of the error to enable model execution.Analyzing Validation Results
) of the current editor, and xUML Compiler messages (and ) no matter where they occur. Use the information given in the validation panel to check the mentioned elements of your service model.Using the Displayed Information
Validation messages describe the error, and also provide information on how to solve the problem. This also works vice versa: Click an element on the pane to highlight all messages concerning this element. Same with the Mapping Editor. Click a message to highlight the affected element or object flow in the editor. Sharing Validation Messages
