A business space version being published or made available for testing must be consistent, i.e. must not have invalid rules, references to non-existent business objects etc. The Configuration Tool performs rigorous checks of the validity of the version’s elements when they are being created and/or edited. However, such checks are not made when significant modifications to the version elements are taking place and elements are being deleted and replaced. In this scenario it is easy to overlook a reference to an obsolete element.

To make sure that the version is consistent the Configuration Tool always checks the integrity of the version when it is being published or made available for testing. The Configuration Tool will not allow publishing or testing an inconsistent version. If a version is inconsistent the Configuration Tool displays a list of the version’s problems and does not proceed with publishing or testing. It is also possible at any time to check the integrity of the version irrespective of the state it is in.

To check version integrity:

1. Click on the version that you want to check in the Elements Tree to select it.
2. Select “Version/Check Integrity” in the menu or right click to bring up the pop-up menu and select “Check Integrity”. A list of the problems from the last time you ran the integrity check will be shown in the “Problems” window (the list is empty if integrity is being checked for the first time).

If a version has integrity problems the Configuration Tool will display a list where each entry in the list contains the description of the problem. You can double click on the entry to bring up the editor that will allow you to fix the problem.
