Change the way Designer's server framework interprets VDB status to replace Active/Inactive with isValid() check as Status value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIIDDES-1822 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1822 Project: Teiid Designer Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: VDB & Execution Affects Versions: 8.2 Reporter: Barry LaFond Assignee: Barry LaFond Priority: Minor Fix For: 8.6 1) Set-up simple JDBC source/model/vdb and test/execute VDB 2) Delete the Data Source in the Server view 3) Try and execute the VDB again and get exception logged in console Seems the active/inactive status is old terminology and Designer should be using the isActive() call as well as getValidityErrors() to fine-tune the state of a VDB and prevent Execute VDB from being launched or at least a warning message check.
