Validate product in Developer mode

In Developer mode, the developer can validate the product and fix all validation errors.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. In PolicyCenter, go to the Administration > Product Management screen.
  2. Select a product at the top of the APD Managed tab.
    The selected product appears in the Details tab.
  3. Click Edit Product.
    PolicyCenter displays the Product Definition screen.
  4. On the Product Definition screen, select Generate Product Code and select Base Product.

    PolicyCenter validates the product model and displays the Review Product Elements screen showing the product hierarchy. If there are problems with the product definition, the Complete Generation button does not appear in the upper right corner of the screen. Problems are marked with a red X inside a circle in the second column of the table. A red X indicates that there is a error in the current element or one of its children. The element with the error displays an error message. Click > to display the error.

  5. If there are problems, click Cancel Generation, and fix the problems in the Product Definition screens, then Generate Product Code.
    You cannot proceed until all problems are resolved. There are no problems in the product definition when a check mark appears in the second column of each row in the Review Product Elements table. A Complete Generation button appears next to Cancel Generation.
  6. (Recommended) Export your product to template by clicking Edit and selecting Export Template before generating the product code. You can use this template to make further product changes using the Product Definition screens.
  7. (Recommended) Check the template into version control. With version control, you can compare versions, and restore previous versions, if necessary.
    Note: If you drop the database before the final build is complete, you will lose the product changes you have made.
