Suppressing an ICE Error

AdminStudio 11.0 | Application Manager

Edition: Application Manager is included with AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

If you do not want Application Manager to check for a particular ICE error during subsequent validations of a package, you can choose to suppress it. When you suppress an ICE error, it is listed in gray on the Validation View and is not executed in subsequent validations. You might choose to suppress an ICE error that is a known issue at your organization which does not need additional corrections.

Suppressed ICE errors are still listed in the Package Report for that package. To remove an ICE error from the Package Report, you need to Delete it rather than Suppress it. See Deleting an ICE Error and Generating Package Reports.

To suppress an ICE error:

1. Perform the steps listed in Validating an Imported Package.
2. Select the Analysis tab in the Application Manager ribbon.
3. In the Application Manager tree, expand the Windows Installer package node to display its subnodes and select the Validation node. The Validation View opens.
4. Select the ICE error that you want to suppress and then select Properties from the context menu. The Properties dialog box opens.
5. Under State, select Suppressed.

Note: You can also choose to enable or suppress an ICE error by selecting the ICE error on the Validation View and then selecting Enable or Suppress from the context menu. When using the context menu to set an ICE error’s state, you can perform the operation on multiple ICE errors at once. Use the Shift key to select multiple contiguous items in the list, and use the Ctrl key to select multiple non-contiguous items.

6. You could choose to document the reason that you are suppressing this ICE error in the Explanation text box.
7. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.

On the Validation View, the ICE error that you just suppressed is now listed in gray:

 

Suppressing a ICE Error vs. an ICE Rule

When you suppress an ICE error, you are just suppressing that particular error; you are not suppressing subsequent checks for an entire ICE rule during subsequent validations of that package. For example, if you suppress one ICE57 error, all of the other ICE57 errors are not suppressed:

To suppress all ICE errors for an ICE rule, do one of the following:

To suppress an ICE rule for one package—Perform the steps listed in Validating an Imported Package, and then go to the Validation View and suppress all ICE errors found for that ICE rule.
To suppress an ICE rule for all packages in the Application Catalog—Enter the ICE rule number on the Validate tab of the Options dialog box. See Excluding Specific ICEs from Execution During Validation.
