Changes to validation in PolicyCenter 8.0

In PolicyCenter 8.0, product model validation and verification has changed due to the introduction of Product Designer. Within Product Designer, each change you make to the product model can be validated using a Validate link on the page where you made the change. Additionally, you can validated all changes in a change list prior to committing your changes to the PolicyCenter configuration. Even if you do not explicitly validate your changes, performing a Commit operation runs validation on all changes. The commit cannot proceed until all validation errors have been fixed. However, the validations run by Product Designer are only a subset of a complete product model verification.

To perform thorough product model verification, you must do one of the following:

Start the PolicyCenter Server and, if it fails to start, check the system console log for product model error messages.
Compile one or more product model files in Studio and check the Log window at the bottom of the Studio window for errors.
