I had a hard time finding this configuration option so figured I would post it here:
MSM will throw an “Archive Validation Error” when installing an archive on one server with one patch level and installing to another server with a different patch level. This can happen when testing a patch on a dev server and actively updating Production templates etc and will prevent installation of the archive.
For example:
This error can be turned into a warning (error dialog will still appear but you will be able to click through it) by adding the allowBuildMismatch flag to the Java options for MSM:
lax.nl.java.option.additional=-Xmx512m [B]-Dcom.percussion.deploy.allowBuildMismatch[/B]
Adding this to your RhythmyxMultiServermanager.lax file and completely restarting MSM should put the option into effect.
