Dealing with validation and exceptions Applications are validated before downloading to a PanelView terminal or when Application Size or Validate All is selected. When there is a problem with the application and it cannot run as is, an error message is listed in the Exceptions window. For example, if an object's address is incorrect for the targeted logic controller, PanelBuilder32 will produce a validation error message. Warnings indicate that the application may not appear or run as intended, but it will run on the terminal and can be downloaded. The Exceptions window gives a summary of error and warning messages.
More information is available using the following methods.
For more descriptive validation error and warning messages and possible solutions, right-click on the error message and select Details. Or select Details from the Exceptions menu. A Help dialog will pop up. If a warning is not important, it can be suppressed to reduce the number of messages. This also helps prevent confusion for maintenance personnel who may not understand or remember the difference between warnings and errors, and are reluctant to download an application if there are any validation messages.
