Adding maps to the MX validation framework

Additional XML messages can be added to the framework to perform XML schema validation and optionally your own extended validation rules.

Maps added to the framework must be consistent with existing validation maps in that they must have the same input and output cards, and map naming conventions, as described in Individual MX validation maps. Perform these steps to add more messages:
  1. Create additional validation maps. Copy an existing validation map and edit it according to your needs. Rename the map to specify the message type, bearing in mind the rules governing validation map names. See Individual MX validation maps.
  2. Modify the input card in this map to use either the native XML schema, or create a Xerces type tree from the schema using the Transformation Extender Map Designer schema importer utility. The resulting type tree can be used as the input card source.
  3. Add the RESTART attribute to the Document Element, which is at the top level of the schema or the type tree. This ensures that all of the errors are captured.
  4. Use the existing map rules as a template to update the rules in Output Card 2, to collect all the elements that you want to validate, such as BICs and IBANs.
