Validate objects

Objects need to be validated before they can be deployed. An object validates its configuration either when you are configuring it, or typically when you save that configuration to the Galaxy database.

Validating an object’s configuration includes:

• Checking allowable attribute value ranges.

• Compiling its scripts.

• Verifying its attribute references.

• Validating its extensions.

• Validating other configuration parameters that are unique to the object.

  Important: Script validation on a template does not resolve references used in the script. For example, references to attributes that do not exist will not be discovered.

Typically, each option on the Object Editor that requires a string or numeric input has an allowable range of inputs. If you type an input outside the allowable range and then try to change the Object Editor page, close the Object Editor or save the object’s configuration, a message appears about the input error, showing the allowable range.

To open the Validation area

• On the View ribbon, select Operations. The Operations pane, where validation information will be displayed, opens.
