Reloading the validation log messages for artifacts

When you select an artifact and edit it before installing the package, the updated messages are displayed only for that artifact. However, if you edit other artifacts while editing the selected artifact, then the messages are updated only for the selected artifact, and not for the other artifacts.

For example: Consider a scenario where “Package1” consists of three artifacts namely Database Connection, Grid Configuration, and Lookup Settings.

• Scenario 1: You select the Database Connection artifact and click Edit, and then you save the settings and the package. In this scenario, the updated messages for Database Connections are displayed and the Database Connection artifact is reloaded.

• Scenario 2: You select the Database Connection artifact and click Edit. You also edit some of the settings for the Grid Configuration and Lookup Settings artifacts in the respective Settings tab, along with the settings for Database Connection. After you save the settings and the package, only the updated messages for Database Connections are displayed. The messages related to Grid Configuration and Lookup Settings artifacts will be displayed in the Pre-install Validation and Configuration page, only after clicking Reload.
