Import validation errors

Errors That Cause the Import to Fail

The following conditions will cause the import operation to fail.

More than one raw reason code has the same priority value

If a duplicate priority value is found, that raw reason code and those that follow it in the priority order will not be imported.

The Default Raw Reason attribute has not been included

If a default raw reason attribute has not been included, the entire import operation will fail.

There are XML syntax errors

If there are any XML syntax errors, the entire import operation will fail.

If any of these validation errors occur, edit the XML file to fix the cause of the error and then try importing the file again.

Errors That Prevent a Raw Reason Code from Being Imported

The following errors will cause a raw reason code to not be imported:

• The Priority attribute is missing or invalid (it must be a positive integer).

• The length of the Description is more than 1024 characters.

• The time entered for Minimum Time Before Activation is negative.

• The raw reason code is missing.

If any of these validation errors occur, you can either edit XML file to fix the cause of the error and then try importing the file again or add the raw reason code directly on the General tab in Object Editor.

Errors That Cause a Raw Reason Code to Be Imported with Warnings

The raw reason code will be imported with warnings for the following errors:

• An attribute other than Priority is missing.

• The validity compilation of the Expression resulted in errors. However, because this compilation is done after parsing the raw reason code, the imported with warnings count will not include expression compilation errors.

• The validation of the Allowable Reasons failed when checked against actual allowable reasons in the MES database.

These errors result in the effected attribute of the imported raw reason code being empty.

You can check the Operations Control Management Console Log Viewer to see which attributes were missing.

Also, when a Save operation is performed, which runs a validation on the entire list of raw reason codes, errors are indicated in red above the raw reason code attribute settings. For more information, see Raw reason code validation error messages.
