Understanding Software Master Validation

You run a report to validate the software master definition that you created. The report runs in final mode, and it changes the status of the build steps that do not have errors. All steps without errors whose status was In Definition or Defined are promoted to the status of Validated. The report lists each build step that will run when you create the master. The report lists whether the build step is validated. If it is validated, the build step will work properly when you are creating the software master. Otherwise, the build step will have either a warning or error message.

Warning messages will not stop the creation of a software master. The message specifies what the warning is. If a build step has a warning message, you should verify that the build step is as you want it before proceeding.

Error messages will stop the creation of a software master. You must fix any build steps that contain error messages. The message specifies the error.
