An XML validation error is often ignored because the returning message does not appear to be serious. However, closer inspection of Access Gateway Appliance shows that none of the changes have been applied. When a change is applied by using UI, the system writes the configuration data to the configuration store on Administration Console and to the Access Gateway’s config.xml. If this file passes the schema checks on Access Gateway Appliance, the /opt/novell/nam/mag/webapps/agm/WEB-INF/config/pending/xxxx-config.xml file (where xxx is the transactionID) is updated with the configuration.
