Resolving validation errors

(Apptune only) The following information is relevant to both DOMPLEX option sets and Apptune filter sets . 

To resolve validation errors

While editing the option set, you might receive some validation error messages on fields that contain invalid data or that are required to have a value. Validation errors cause the filter setting to change to Filter:Invalid and only fields that have validation errors are displayed. Press F1 on the field containing invalid data to get more information about the validation error. As the values are corrected, the fields disappear from the Filter:Invalid display. When all validation errors have been corrected, the filter reverts to what you had before, for example, Filter:Required or Filter:Off.

You can stop an editing session before you are finished and save your changes, even if the option set still has validation errors. To do so, press F3 and then press Enter on the Confirm Option Set End with Errors panel.

1. On the Filter: Invalid view, put your cursor on the field and press F1 to see the error for a specific field.On the Filter: Invalid view, you can issue the fastpath commands (FILTOFF, FILTREQ, etc) to switch to another view or issue them from the Filter menu on the task bar.

   Command	Description
   FILTOFF	Turns off the filter and shows all the parameter options. If you enter the FILTOFF command, you can save an option set with invalid option values.
   FILTMOD	Displays options whose values differ from the shipped default values
   FILTREQ	Displays options for which the product must have a value in order to function correctly
   FILTINVALID	Displays options that have values that do not conform to the correct format for that field
   FILTDEF	Displays options whose values match the shipped default values

2. Edit the value and press Enter.The relevant error is removed from the Filter: Invalid View screen.

   After you have removed all the invalid errors, the cursor is returned to the previous Filter View.
