Showing Objects Requiring Validation

Often you will change objects (mainly structures) and then you must validate and possibly change downstream dependent objects. For example, if you add a property to a Java class, you would reimport the Java classes and then you will need to open each of the maps that might use the structures that have changed to make sure the mapping information is correct and add new mappings as required.

To do this, you can use the Show Objects Needing Validation menu item in the Repository navigator popup menu for the project . Objects will show up as requiring validation until they have been opened and saved since the dependent object changed and have no warnings. So for example if you delete a property from a Java class and open the map that requires validation, if you don't remove the warning given in the map (by deleting the corresponding map element), then the map will still appear on the list of objects requiring validation.
