Add a custom schema

The process for adding a custom schema uses the sepvalid map. This process adds a new run map call to the existing validation maps, or could call a new or modified validation map. Follow the procedures below to add a validation step.

  1. Open sepa_validation in the map designer, then select output card 1 of the sepvalid map.
  2. If desired, created a new NVP WorkTemp under the Global WorkArea. This can then be passed to any of the new validation steps created.
  3. Add an index to the FileType(s) group. To do this, first go to the bottom of the sepvalid map. Right click on the FileType(s) and add an index. This index will have a corresponding call to a level zero (se0) functional map that will call the validation level one (se1) run map for validation. The corresponding level zero map can also contain framework rules.
  4. In the FileTypes element group, complete all elements as needed for the new FileType. The following table provides a description of the table groups and associated elements.
  5. Create the required functional maps and run maps to perform the validation required. You may want to copy other maps within the validation framework as a starting point.
  6. If you want to use an NVP WorkTemp at the functional map level, these are found in the output card as an indexed group under the Step WorkArea element.
