When you create your model, it is important that it is internally consistent and is capable of being generated into the form that you want; for example, a message dictionary or an XML Schema document.
To assist with this, whenever you save a message set file, it is validated as follows:
Once validation has taken place, any errors or warnings are shown in the task list. Double clicking on a task list entry opens the file and positions the editor at the object in error. Organize the task list so that errors are shown before warnings. In this way, errors are not hidden. The task list provides a comprehensive filtering capability if you want to hide low priority warnings, or warnings that you are know about and are comfortable with.
The generation of a message dictionary or an XML Schema is prevented if any errors are present. The presence of warnings alone does not prevent generation, but high priority warnings must be reviewed because a model that generates such warnings might be incomplete.
Where task list warnings or errors occur, these are listed in the Problems view of the Broker Application Development perspective. While a majority of these require you to manually investigate and resolve them, a number of warnings and errors that meet specific criteria can be repaired using a quick fix process.
