Automation Orchestrator provides a workflow validation tool. Validating a workflow helps identify errors in the workflow and checks that the data flows from one element to the next correctly.
By default, Automation Orchestrator always performs a workflow validation when you run a workflow.
When you validate a workflow, the validation tool creates a list of any errors or warnings. Clicking an error in the list highlights the workflow element that contains the error.
If you run the validation tool in the workflow editor, the tool provides suggested quick fixes for the errors it detects. Some quick fixes require additional information or input parameters. Other quick fixes resolve the error for you.
Workflow validation checks the data bindings and connections between elements. Workflow validation does not check the data processing that each element in the workflow performs. As a result, a valid workflow might run incorrectly and produce erroneous results if a function in a schema element is incorrect.
