Media Server 24.3

# Validate a Session Configuration File

You can use the action ValidateProcessConfig to check for errors in a session configuration file.

To validate a task configuration file

- Send the action ValidateProcessConfig to Media Server, including one of the following parameters:

  `Config` | A base64 encoded configuration file to validate.
  `ConfigName` | The name of a configuration file to validate, when the configuration file is stored in the directory specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter, in the `[Paths]` section of the Media Server configuration file.
  `ConfigPath` | The path of a configuration file to validate.

  For example, to validate the configuration `facedetect.cfg`, which is stored in the directory specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter:

      http://host:14000/action=ValidateProcessConfig&ConfigName=facedetect

  The response to the action includes a `processable` element. This contains a Boolean value that indicates whether the configuration could be used to start processing. The value `true` indicates that there were no fatal errors. If you have used deprecated configuration parameters or the configuration contains unused parameters these are listed in the `errors` element of the response but are not considered to be fatal errors.

  A value of `true` does not guarantee that processing will succeed, because this might depend on the source media and whether resources (such as another Media Server) are available. If the configuration sends records to another Media Server, the action does not validate configurations on the downstream server.

  If errors are detected, they are described in the `errors` element of the response.
