External configuration file validation
The External configuration file validation section displays information your xml configuration files and the DataviewConfig.groovy file.
For information about how to access and use these files to customize your instance of Viewpoint, please see About Viewpoint customization.
If any XML file validation fails after customization, Viewpoint will automatically rename the file with invalid XML and load a brand new default XML file. For example, if Viewpoint discovers that the navigation.xml file contains invalid XML, it will rename the invalid file with a timestamp (for example, navigation.xml.1371832463117) and it will reload the delivered default navigation.xml automatically. In this way, Viewpoint will never break because of invalid XML. Additionally, you can go into the saved, invalid XML file (in the Viewpoint home directory) and fix the broken XML. When it is fixed, you can rename the file (for example, navigation.xml) and overwrite the default file so that your changes appear in Viewpoint.
When an XML file fails validation, Viewpoint notifies you with: Warning - Multiple or invalid files.
You can click on the link to go to the XML file validation page. For more information, see Fields: XML file validation.
gadgets.xml
Displays whether file validation passed or failed on the gadgets.xml file.
navigation.xml
Displays whether file validation passed or failed on the navigation.xml file.
reporting.xml
Displays whether file validation passed or failed on the reporting.xml file.
security.xml
Displays whether file validation passed or failed on the security.xml file.
DataviewConfig.groovy
For information about how to customize Viewpoint with the DataviewConfig.groovy file, see Dataview and Details customization.
Displays whether file validation passed or failed on the DataviewConfig.groovy file.
You will see a Warning - Multiple or invalid files warning for one of two reason:
- If the validation fails due to invalid JSON. This message is a link that will take you to the DataviewConfig.groovy validation page (for more information, see Fields: DataviewConfig.groovy validation). Click the link to see which part of the file validation failed.
- If during an upgrade Viewpoint discovers that its delivered default DataviewConfig.groovy file is newer than your existing file. In this case Viewpoint automatically renames the outdated file with a timestamp (for example, DataviewConfig.groovy.1371832463117) and loads the newer default DataviewConfig.groovy file.
When this occurs, you can go to the Viewpoint home /cloud/ directory to find the renamed DataviewConfig.groovy file.
