Deviation

When you enable a service, all its resources should transition from disabled to enabled, or to any other target state specified in the commissioning file. This file describes the resources and their required target states to ensure that the service functions properly.

However, certain conditions may prevent resources from achieving the desired target state (e.g. a broken network cable). Such instances are called a deviation and the affected service is considered deviated.

A pop up message notifies you of deviated services. To see the list of deviated services, click the arrow down button.

To see which resources of a service are deviated, click a service name in the list. This opens the Deviations tab for the service to display the deviated resources. On the Deviations tab, you can see expected status and the actual status of each deviated resource.

Deviations are also indicated in the service overview page and in the service details view.
