What happens when you validate a report?
Answer:
The Validate Report button validates the report specification and everything in it.
This includes:
- Ensuring that there are no structural problems with the report spec (the XML copied from Tools->Copy report to clipboard)
- Ensures that the report spec does not contain invalid values (e.g. A zero exists in a field that requires 1 or higher)
- Validates model connections and data dependencies
