Workflow validation process

You validate a workflow process to verify the structural integrity of the process.

The Workflow validation process checks the following conditions:

• Each node is connected to another node so that a record can travel each path in a process without interruption.
• All nodes, except for the Start node, have at least one connection line entering the node.
• All nodes, except for the Stop nodes, have at least one connection line exiting the node.
• Start nodes have only one positive connection exiting the node.
• The Structured Query Language (SQL) syntax is valid for conditions or for conditional assignments.
• Condition nodes have either a valid WHERE clause or a custom class file specified in the node properties. The WHERE clause must evaluate to true or false. Condition nodes have both a positive and a negative connection line exiting the node.
• Manual input nodes have at least one positive connection exiting the node.
• Subprocess nodes have an enabled process specified in the node properties.
• Task nodes have at least one assignment specified in the node properties.
• Wait nodes have at least one event specified in the node properties.

The validation process cannot check for the following conditions:

• Notification email addresses are valid.
• Custom class files are in the Maximo® directory.
• Custom class files run.
• Executable files run.
• A process accurately reflects your business process.
