Validate a Recipe

You can validate the current recipe. The validation process verifies the following elements:

• The Process Model database information used in the recipe exists. This information includes process classes, phases, parameters, and tags.

• The Material database information used in the recipe exists.

• The minimum, maximum, and default batch sizes defined in the recipe header are appropriate. (Minimum <= Default <= Maximum).

• All the formula parameters defined in the recipe procedure are linked to the appropriate information.

• All transition logic, including loop logic, is valid.

Notes:

• The validation process verifies only user-configured information. Because of the flexibility provided in constructing recipe procedures, it is impossible to verify a recipe design. This verification is your responsibility.

• The validation does not check the document path specified for a document that is to be viewed as part of the phase processing.

• The validation process does not verify the existence of reports on the History Server. This verification is your responsibility.

To validate a recipe

• On the File menu, click Validate.

  If the validation is successful, Recipe is Valid is shown in the Validate dialog box. If validation errors exist, the associated tags appear along with a validation error message.
