Validation and error messages

This table lists the Cycle Period status and the related validation messages:

Cycle Period Status	Scenario Status	Can Execute?	Validation Message
Pending	N/A	No	Cannot run macro {0} because Cycle Period has status "Pending".
Running	WIP	Yes	N/A
Running	Review, Rejected, Stopped, Approved, Published	No	Cannot run macro {0} because Scenario has status {1}
Completed	Any	No	Cannot run macro {0} because Cycle Period has status "Completed"
Aborted	Any	No	Cannot run macro {0} because Cycle Period has status "Aborted"
Paused	Any	No	Cannot run macro {0} because Cycle Period is “not running"
Archived	Any	No	Cannot run macro {0} because Cycle Period has status "Archived"

The plan data is imported for the current scenario on successful validation and execution of the macro. If the validation fails, the macro is aborted, and the related error message is displayed. This table lists the error messages displayed for various validation failures:

Validation Condition	Error Message
Check that the passed interface service is valid.	Interface Service "{0}" cannot be found.
If the selected Interface Service data entity is not applicable to the current macro context, the macro is not executed. For example, RunInterfaceService for scenario can only run interfaces of data entity = scenario value.	Interface Service {0} does not match the data entity required for a scenario macro.
If the Direction does not match the Interface Direction of the selected Interface Service, the macro is not executed.	Direction parameter {0} does not match the direction of the selected Interface Service "{1}".
When the selected direction is Import, the cycle period must be "Available" with a “WIP” scenario.	Cannot execute RunInterfaceService with direction of import for a cycle period with status "{0}".
Ensure that the scenario status is WIP when running an Import.	Cannot execute RunInterfaceService with direction of import for a scenario status "{0}".
For Import scenario Interface, if the Calendar Level specified in the interface service does not exist in the calendar for the current cycle.	Calendar Level {0} cannot be found.
If the calendar level is not higher or equal to the Calendar level for storing scenario values, a warning message is displayed, and the import process is aborted.	Calendar Level {0} is below the Calendar level {1} for storing scenario values.
When executing RunInterfaceService in a cycle period context, the selected interface service must refer to a calendar that matches the calendar for the current cycle period. Else the macro is not executed.	Calendar referenced in Interface Service {0} does not match the calendar of the current cycle period.
Check that the Data Source is of the same type as defined in the Interface Service.	Data Source {0} type doesn't match the data source type in Interface Service "{1}".
