Adding warning and failure messages to validation results — CdmPolicyUtil

  • Release version: Australia
  • Updated March 12, 2026
  • 1 minute to read

    • You use the CdmPolicyUtil script include to add warning and failure messages to validation results in the CDM Policy Validation Results table. CDM expects validation warnings and failures to contain a node path, a snapshot ID, and a reference to the impacted node.

    Important:
    Starting with the Washington D.C. release, DevOps Config is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances but will continue to be supported.

    CdmPolicyUtil

    • CdmPolicyUtil is a public script include.
    • Because CdmPolicyUtil is a global script include, you do not need to invoke it like a new CdmPolicyUtil().
    • You can invoke CdmPolicyUtil in all scopes, but the expected invocation scope is PaCE (specifically, during the execution of PaCE policies).
    • The proper call is CdmPolicyUtil.methodName(parameters).
    Note:
    If you add warning and failure messages to validation results manually instead of using CdmPolicyUtil, the snapshot validation status will show Execution Error.
