Resolve Publish Errors

Explanation

This activity is used to resolve publish errors in part groups that resulted when a change source was published and some or all of the published data failed validation in IFS Maintenix. Data validation of updates to the configuration baseline takes place only in IFS Maintenix.

If an error exists in any of the part groups for a change source, on publishing the change source, the status of the configuration change source changes to PublishError. Only the part groups containing errors will fail publish. The rest of the part groups will be published successfully.

To resolve publish errors the status of the change source should be set to InProgress. The changes that failed validation will be displayed on the Publish Errors page, where a description of the error is displayed in the Error Text field. You can navigate to the part group details to rectify the error and publish the change source again.

Prerequisites

• The status of the configuration change source is InProgress.

System Effects

• The configuration baseline in IFS Maintenix is updated with valid changes.
• The status of the change source changes to PublishInProgress and eventually changes to either of the two following states:
  • Published, if all the changes to the configuration baseline are valid and were updated in IFS Maintenix.
  • PublishError, if some or all of the changes to the configuration baseline are invalid and were not updated in IFS Maintenix.

Procedure

1. Open the Publish Errors page.
2. In the Error Text field, view the description of the data validation error.
3. Select the error to be resolved, click the menu item and click Details.
4. Make changes in the required part group to resolve the error.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 for all publish errors for the change source.
6. Open the Configuration Change Source details page for the required change source.
7. Click Publish.
