The validation response will include the same information on dependent components as [validation logs](https://platform.veevavault.help/en/lr/36919#validation-logs) generated through the UI. For packages that include Vault Java SDK code, this operation recompiles source code against the target Vault's libraries and dependencies and checks for compilation errors and restrictions. For example, `new` is not allowed for non-allowlisted classes. When compilation errors are detected, Vault assigns the code step a status of *Blocked*. Learn more about [Vault Java SDK limits and restrictions](/vault-sdk/references/limits-restrictions). This endpoint does not import your package. ## Headers {#headers} | Name | Description | | --- | --- | | `Accept` | `application/json` (default) | ## Body Parameters {#body-parameters} To upload the VPK file, use the multi-part attachment with the file component `”file={filename}”`.

For example, `Verified` or `Blocked`. | | `total_steps` | The total number of package steps. | | `total_steps_blocked` | The total number of package steps that have a status of *Blocked*. | | `total_component_steps_blocked` | The total number of component steps that have a status of *Blocked*. | | `total_data_steps_blocked` | The total number of data steps that have a status of *Blocked*. | | `total_code_steps_blocked` | The total number of code steps that have a status of *Blocked*. | | `package_steps` | This array contains information about each of the package steps. | The response includes additional information about each step depending on whether the step type is `Component`, `Code`, or `Data`. For example, a code step includes a `validation_message` verifying the code, or a `validation_error` message if code fails to compile correctly. --- **Previous:** [Vault Configuration Report](/quality/vault-api/api-reference/26.2/configuration-migration/vault-configuration-report) **Next:** [Validate Inbound Package](/quality/vault-api/api-reference/26.2/configuration-migration/validate-inbound-package)
