Validation

An IDD application configuration is loosely coupled with the metadata in an ORS.

The configuration contains references to objects in an ORS. Changes to an ORS (the addition, modification, or removal of base objects, columns, cleanse functions, and so on) are not automatically reflected in the IDD configuration. For this reason, the IDD validation process is necessary and must be repeated periodically.

Validation is run in the following circumstances:

when requested by the user in the IDD Configuration Manager

when importing an IDD configuration

before deploying an application when the application server is started up

The following validation levels are available.

valid_ind	Validation Level	Description
-1	Not Validated	The IDD application has not been validated.
0	No Error	No errors or warnings were found during validation.
1	Information	Provides information to the user. No configuration changes are required.
2	Warning	A configuration might need to be changed, but should cause no run-time problems.
3	Error	A configuration error must be fixed. Run-time problems can be expected.
4	Critical Error	Same as Error, but indicates a problem that requires even more urgent attention.
5	Fatal Error	An error that prevents the IDD application from running at all. The application will not be deployed under any circumstance.
