Model Validation


Validation problems may occuring during a modeling session in Designer due to various changes a user may choose to perform. If Models > Validate Automatically is turned ON, then validation will occur with each Save operation, otherwise validation has to be performed manually via Models > Validate All or Models > Validate Changes actions.

Validate Changes action is also available in the VDB Explorer's toolbar and context menu.

These problems are summarized in the Problems View and may be one of two types:

Error Error Image
Warning Warning icon

You can navigate to and view the specific problem area by double-clicking the error or warning in the Problems View. In most instances, the Model containing the error will open in an editor and the specific problem object will be visible and selected.
