Configuration Best Practices › Edit Configuration Variables when a Build or Validation Fails

Edit Configuration Variables when a Build or Validation Fails

When you arrive at the last step of the configuration wizard, even if you thoroughly review your configuration before building, you may encounter an error when building, and the build fails. Additionally, under certain cases the build succeeds, however, you can encounter a validation error when attempting to validate the built configuration.

If this happens, edit the configuration that failed, and then build it again.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Configurations tab and locate the failed configuration.
2. Click the Actions drop-down list to the right of the configuration, and select Edit.

   The configuration wizard opens to step 4.

3. Change data in the configuration that likely caused the build or validation to fail. Navigate and make edits to the remaining steps in the wizard, if needed.
4. Build the configuration.

Business Value:

This can save you time when addressing a failed configuration. When you open a configuration for editing, all previous settings are already populated. You only need to change the values that caused the configuration to fail.

Additional Considerations:

Optionally, you can create a new configuration and import values from the failed configuration. When importing, select Import from Previous and Delete, and then modify the values that caused the build to fail (for example, HLQ, volume serial, and so on).
