Can you filter the results of a Validation?
Is there any way to filter the results of a Validation? In my current example, I’m starting with a vendor MSI which contains a pile of errors. I’ve learned to ignore them because it their MSI and it works, etc, etc. But… (there’s that ‘but’ again) after I apply my transform, I’d like to run a Post Validation on that and be able to see what new errors/warnings pop up. When I do though, it still shows all the originals as well. That’s fine, but I’d really like to filter out the ones that I “choose” to ignore for the moment. Any ideas?
Tks
We are planning specific enhancements for the Validation process and it's integration within AdminStudio. If you could explain your requirements, then I can make sure that the feature enhancements will satisfy your needs.

This could be in the form of a single option (e.g. a checkbox for "suppress original ICE error/warnings") or a more detailed interface where you could go down through the log file, right-click on a line and have a menu of options:
- suppress once (this error/warning is ignored the next time you run a validation),
- suppress (this error/warning is ignored from this point on),
- revert (all error/warnings are reported again) and,
- ??? (can anyone think of any others to add?).
*Note* When I say "this error/warning" I'm referring to that particular line item in the log, not every instance of that particular ICE error.
