To Validate a Process Definition
2. The following list is an example of some of the validation that the Verify command performs:
- Checks that a process has at least one Start and one End activity.
- Verifies that a process does not contain itself as a process activity.
- Validates that all possible activity results are modelled as outgoing transitions. If an activity completes with a result that is not associated with an outgoing transition, and a <Default> transition doesn't exist for that activity, the activity enters an 'ERROR' state.
- Validates that activity nodes marked as END nodes do not have any outgoing transitions.
- Validates that a notification activity's result type matches the lookup type defined for the message's 'RESULT' message attribute.
Attention: You should always validate any new process definition you create as it helps you to identify any potential problems with the definition that might prevent it from executing successfully.
