- At least one of (TestIndicator or ProdIndicator) must be True.
- Note the field labels within Partner Manager change for this field depending on MandatoryUNG in EDFIBTradeLink. When MandatoryUNG is set to N (None), Validate By can be Message or Interchange. When MandatoryUNG is set to M (Mandatory) or O (Optional), Validate By can be Message or Functional Group. For the purposes of this XML input, set to M or F where F can mean either Functional Group or Interchange and M denotes Message.

Value 2 (Functional Group Level) can only be specified if Mandatory UNG is in use (Application Partners in tag EDFIBAPLink are defined for this link).
