Service design validation

Validation errors are indicated on the design canvas with an error icon () on the component and on the designer control toolbar. Validation warnings are indicated on the design canvas with a warning icon () on the component and on the designer control toolbar. If a component has both warnings and errors, an error icon is displayed. Hover over the icon on the canvas to view details about the error or warning.

A service design with validation errors is not publishable.

A validation error indicates that your service design has one or more of the following problems:

• The service design has a component that does not have an established parent-child relationship to another component in the design.

• The service design has a pattern component that does not have a parent component.

• The service design has a pattern component whose parent component has a Clone Pattern action that does not have a value in the “Name of the Property for Service Component Count” property field or has a value that does not point to the name of a property on the component.

A validation warning indicates that your service design has one or more of the following problems:

• The service design has a pattern component whose parent component does not have the Clone Pattern action.
• The service design has one or more associated resource offerings that do not have enabled resource providers. If this service design problem is not corrected, the design cannot be successfully provisioned.
