Validating Keywords

The Config File Manager contains a validation engine to check for errors in your configuration files. The validation engine examines all retrieved configuration files, not just the ones matching the filter criteria, or those displayed in the grid. Validation includes such items as which keywords must be enabled for a given service, any out of range or invalid keyword values, keyword uniqueness if required, and much more.

Validate Keywords

To Find Validation Errors in Configuration Files

  1. Click Validate (or Ctrl+Shift+V) to view a list of validation errors identified by the engine.
  2. A list of errors is displayed in the Validation Grid indicating the affected service(s) and the error.
  3. Click Update Filter to collapse the File Filter (if it's expanded), and update the keyword grid to display only the service(s) affected by the error in the selected row.
  4. Find the keyword(s) causing the error and correct.
  5. Continue to validate you configuration files, until no further errors appear.

Validation Notes

Note: If the Config File Manager loads a service configuration file that contains the same keyword enabled multiple times, the utility will display the first instance of the keyword and its value, and all other instances will be disabled. When saving the service configuration file, the duplicate keywords will be automatically disabled, although the disabling will not be appear as a change in the UI or in the final validation screen.
