Customising Model Validations

[OpenIT Solutions]

Hi,

Anyone know if its possible to extend/customise model validations - specifically i need to run validations against BPMN diagrams but the built in BPEL validation is a little to strict. Also is there an easy way to include the output in an rtf report ?

Thanks,


Jon.

Jon,

There are some EA events that you can use to add your own validations; I  think there is even a validation example that available somewhere.

I didn't really like that approach and I wrote my own validation from scratch, so that's an option as well.

Hi Geert,

Do you mean workflow scripts (pre-change events) ? Yep i've used these to ensure that users fill things out properly etc...can't be used for everything however...so i wanted to customise the Project - Model Validation -> Validate Selected -> BPEL capability to just apply the rules/validations that are important to my client....

When you say you wrote your own...can you provide any more details?

Thanks,

Jon.

No, I was referring to the Model Validation Broadcasts
The link to the example can be found on the same page.

I just wrote my own add-in that validates (part of) my model.
The output is stored in Excel and as EA's defects.
