Validating the custom deployment configuration

To check for problems before generating a new .prowcapc file, open the .wcd file and choose Deploy > Validate. The Deployment Packager analyzes the settings you specified and reports any of the following that it detects:
*Error conditions — Problems that you must correct before generating the new .prowcapc file, such as invalid or missing values in the Prowcapc File, Application Name, and Output Directory fields.
*Warning conditions — Settings that might cause problems when the application runs, but that do not prevent generation of the new .prowcapc file. For example, it displays a warning if the new application name differs from the name of the source .prowcapc file.
If there are no errors, the Deployment Packager displays the "Validation succeeded" prompt that lists the changes you made—that is, differences between the original configuration and the new one—as well as any warnings. Review the information before dismissing this prompt.
If errors are found, the Deployment Packager lists them in the "Validation failed" prompt. You must correct the errors before the Deployment Packager can generate the new file.
