XML File Validation

The
XML File Validation
 screen is used to upload and verify files against XML Schemas Definition (XSD). This dock can be used to check for issues with a file that might arise during the import process. Examples include (but are not limited to):
  • The value in a field may exceed the maximum length (e.g. a 10-character value in an 8-character field).
  • The value in a field may be the wrong data type (e.g. an alphanumeric character in a numeric-only field).
  • Invalid child elements within the XML.
This dock can be used to import a file at your convenience rather than at a prescheduled time.

Validating a File

To validate an XML file.
  1. Click on the Upload XML File
    Choose File
     button to select an XML file from your local drive to validate.
  2. Click on Upload XML Schema (XSD) File
    Choose File
     button to select the relevant XSD file to validate against. As files are loaded in the file names will show on the screen.
  3. Click
    Validate XML
     once both files are loaded in to activate the validation process. Results will show on screen following completion of the validation.
If errors are identified, a message will be displayed.
If there are no errors, a successful message will be displayed.
