DocsProcess validation
The process validation tool tests for a number of potential errors in your Blue Prism process or visual business object. Using this tool will help you detect problems in your work before you make it available for use in .
This section gives a more detailed explanation of process and object validation, and the concepts used within the interface to aid in identifying and resolving any process issues.
Types of results
There are three types of validation results:
|
Result |
Description |
|---|---|

|
Errors are generally used to indicate problems which must be fixed in order to prevent your process or business object from failing at runtime. |
|
|
Warnings alert you to potential problems which may cause your process or business object to fail at runtime. You must use your discretion in deciding whether or not to ignore the error. |
|
|
Advice can often give you useful information on how to make the process or business object easier to understand or improve the documentation, but does not generally include problems that will cause any failure during running. |
Sorting results
Results may be sorted in order, to group the results by, for example Page, Stage Name, or Type. Click the header of interest (for example, Stage Name) to sort according to that attribute (such as sort by Stage Name, in order). Click the same column again to toggle the sort order (for example, from alphabetical to reverse alphabetical in the Stage Name column).
Open the help page
Sometimes more information is available for a particular message. In this case, the Related Help ... button will be enabled. Clicking this button will take you to the relevant help page.
Alternatively you may contact Blue Prism for support.
Automatic repair
Results are classed in the list as repairable and non-repairable. Non-repairable indicates that the error must be fixed by a human; repairable indicates that Blue Prism can automatically fix the error.
If one or more of the errors is repairable, the Repair All button will be enabled. When the button is clicked, all possible errors which can be repaired (as indicated in the Repairable column) will be repaired.
Inclusion of business objects
When viewing a process which uses business objects which have not yet been installed, a large number of results will clutter the list with errors about missing business objects. To exclude these errors, clear the Include Business Objects checkbox.
Go To Stage button
The Go To Stage button takes you to the relevant stage, if such a stage exists. For example, if a stage is missing an outbound link, the button will take you to the stage which is missing a link. If the error is not related to a stage (for example, a page exists which is never used), then the button will have no effect.
