Workflow Object Validation

The Developer tool performs workflow object validation each time you validate a workflow.

The Developer tool validates the following workflow objects:

Events: The workflow contains one Start event that is the first object in the workflow. The workflow contains one End event that is the last object in the workflow. The workflow has a path from the Start event to the End event.
Tasks: Each task has a unique name within the workflow. If applicable, task input is assigned to workflow parameters and variables with compatible types. If applicable, task output is assigned to workflow variables with compatible datatypes. Task configuration properties are assigned to valid values.
Each Assignment task assigns a valid value to a single workflow variable. The value assigned to the workflow variable has a compatible datatype. If the task uses workflow parameters or variables in the assignment expression, the Developer tool verifies that the parameters and variables exist.
Each Command task includes a command that does not contain a carriage return character or line feed character. If the command uses workflow parameters or variables, the Developer tool verifies that the parameters and variables exist.
Each Mapping task includes a valid mapping that exists in the repository.
Each Notification task includes at least one recipient. If the task uses workflow parameters or variables, the Developer tool verifies that the parameters and variables exist.
Gateways: Each gateway has a unique name within the workflow.
