    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    • Do not manually validate snapshots that have already been validated and published.
    • If you select the Validate snapshots or Validate and publish snapshots option when committing a changeset, then the system auto-validates each snapshot when it is first generated.
    • To view the current validation failures or warnings for a snapshot, open the snapshot and select the Validation Results tab. For details, see View the results of snapshot validation.
    • Use the Policy Test Playground feature to revalidate snapshots while you develop a policy. The resulting validation results are flagged as test results and do not affect operations.
    • If there is a requirement to revalidate all snapshots for a deployable, revalidate only after you have tested and published the policies.

    Procedimento

    1. Use either of the following methods to validate a snapshot:
      • Use the REST API endpoint to validate.
      • On the Snapshots tab for an application, select the name of the snapshot to validate and then select Validate.
      • On any tab for an open snapshot, select Validate.
    2. Confirm the action on the Validate snapshot dialog box.

      The system follows this procedure to validate snapshots:

      • The system executes all policies that are statically or dynamically mapped to the associated deployable.
      • If the snapshot passes all policies, then the Validation status value is set to Passed and no entries are listed on the Validation Results tab. If validation was invoked with the Publish Valid publish option, then valid snapshots are auto-published.
      • If any policy encounters issues, then the Validation status value is set to Failed. The Validation Results tab displays all failures or warnings returned by policies.
      • If any policy failed to run to completion, then the Validation status value is set to Execution error and the Validation Results tab indicates that validation failed due to error.
