Remarks

This component provides a simple way to validate an EDI document and obtain details about any validation errors.

EDI Validation

Before calling Validate set SchemaFormat and call LoadSchema to load the schema for the document to be validated. The schema defines many validation rules such as minimum and maximum lengths, minimum and maximum occurrences, and more. The validation performed by the class depends largely on the schema's definition.

When the Validate method is called the class will attempt to validate the document. If errors are found during validation the ValidationError event will fire with details about each error as it is encountered. After the document has been validated the ValidationErrors property will be populated with details of each error.

Inspect the ValidationErrors property for information on any errors that were encountered.

Validation Example validator.InputFile = "files/EDIDocuments/MyEDIDoc.txt"; validator.LoadSchema("my_schemas/00501/RSSBus_005010X222A1_837.json"); validator.Validate(); foreach (ValidationErrorDetail error in validator.ValidationErrors) { Console.WriteLine(error.ErrorCode + ": " + error.Message); }

If the schema file does not exists or cannot be parsed as an EDI schema, the component throws an exception.

Config Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doConfig($configurationstring);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_do_config($res, $configurationstring);

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

DisplaySchemaInfo Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Returns a string showing the structure of the schema defining the document.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDisplaySchemaInfo();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_do_displayschemainfo($res);

Remarks

After calling LoadSchema this may be called to obtain information about the structure of the schema defining the document. If the desired XPath is not known this helps determine the structure so that the correct XPath can be built.

Note: A valid schema must be loaded via LoadSchema.

For instance: Console.WriteLine(component.DisplaySchemaInfo()); Will output text like:

DisplayXMLInfo Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Returns a string showing the structure of the parsed document as XML.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doDisplayXMLInfo();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_do_displayxmlinfo($res);

Remarks

After the EDI document has been parsed this method may be called to obtain information about the document structure. The parsed data is represented as XML when queried. This shows all parsed data and may be useful for testing and debugging purposes. For instance: Console.WriteLine(component.DisplayXMLInfo()); Will output text like:

Flush Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Flushes the parser and checks its end state.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doFlush();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_do_flush($res);

Remarks

When Flush is called, the parser flushes all its buffers, firing events as necessary, and then checks its end state.

Any extra un-parsed data will be populated in the ExtraData property after this method is called.

LoadSchema Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Loads a schema file describing a Transaction Set.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doLoadSchema($filename);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_do_loadschema($res, $filename);

Remarks

This method parses the File and loads it into an internal schema list. The class will attempt to automatically detect the SchemaFormat.

If the schema file does not exist or cannot be parsed as an EDI schema, the class fails with an error.

Reset Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Resets the parser.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doReset();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_do_reset($res);

Remarks

When called, the parser flushes all its buffers, firing events as necessary, and then initializes itself to its default state.

Reset must also be used as signal to the parser that the current stream of text has terminated.

Validate Method (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Validates the specified EDI document.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doValidate();

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_do_validate($res);

Remarks

This method validates the EDI document specified by InputFile or InputData.

Before calling Validate set SchemaFormat and call LoadSchema to load the schema for the document to be validated. The schema defines many validation rules such as minimum and maximum lengths, minimum and maximum occurrences, and more. The validation performed by the class depends largely on the schema's definition.

When the Validate method is called the class will attempt to validate the document. If errors are found during validation the ValidationError event will fire with details about each error as it is encountered. After the document has been validated the ValidationErrors property will be populated with details of each error.

Inspect the ValidationErrors property for information on any errors that were encountered.

Validation Example validator.InputFile = "files/EDIDocuments/MyEDIDoc.txt"; validator.LoadSchema("my_schemas/00501/RSSBus_005010X222A1_837.json"); validator.Validate(); foreach (ValidationErrorDetail error in validator.ValidationErrors) { Console.WriteLine(error.ErrorCode + ": " + error.Message); }

Error Event (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireError($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_register_callback($res, 5, array($this, 'fireError'));

Parameter List

 'errorcode'
'description'

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

ResolveSchema Event (IPWorksEDITranslator_HL7Validator Class)

Fires whenever a new transaction set is encountered and no schema is found for it.

Object Oriented Interface

public function fireResolveSchema($param);

Procedural Interface

ipworkseditranslator_hl7validator_register_callback($res, 6, array($this, 'fireResolveSchema'));

Parameter List

 'transactioncode'
'standardversion'

Remarks

This event will fire with errors as the EDI document is validated. The ErrorCode parameter contains the type of error encountered. Message is a textual description of the problem. SegmentNumber is the index of the segment where the problem was found. SegmentTag holds the tag name of the segment. ElementPosition is the position of the element where the error occurred.

The Line and Column parameters identify the location within the EDI document where the error occurred.

Possible ErrorCode values are:

0 The component is not required but is present.
1 Invalid segment count.
2 Invalid transaction count.
3 Invalid group count.
4 Invalid interchange control number.
5 Invalid group control number.
6 Invalid transaction control number.
10 A required data element is missing.
11 Invalid field length.
12 Invalid field value.
13 A required component is missing.
14 The data element is not defined but is present.
30 Required segment is missing.
31 Required loop is missing.
32 Occurrences exceeds the schema defined limit.
33 Occurrences is less than the schema defined minimum.
40 Paired rule validation failed, the pair of elements must be present.
41 At least one of element is required, see message for list of elements.
42 Exclusion validation failed, only one of the elements can be present.
43 Conditional rule validation failed.
44 List conditional rule validation failed.
45 First then none validation failed. The presence of an element requires that other specific elements must not be present.
46 Only one or none of the elements can be present.

X12 Specific Parameters

The following parameters are available in all validator classes but are only applicable to X12 document validation at this time.

SegmentErrorCode holds the error code that may be used in the IK304 field of a 999. ElementErrorCode holds the error code that may be used in the IK403 field of a 999.

TechnicalErrorCode holds a technical error code that helps identify structural issues with the document. For instance when parsing an X12 document this will hold values that may be used for TA1 error codes. When parsing X12 documents the following codes are applicable:

001The Interchange Control Numbers in the header ISA 13 and trailer IEA02 do not match.
014Invalid interchange date value (non-numeric characters or wrong length).
015Invalid interchange time value (non-numeric characters or wrong length).
022The ISA segment is missing elements (invalid control structure).
024Invalid interchange content (e.g., Invalid GS segment).

Config Settings (HL7Validator Class)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

HL7Validator Config Settings

ComponentDelimiter:   The delimiter separating components.

After parsing an EDI document, this configuration option will return the delimiter used to separate components within data elements of the EDI document.

This configuration option may be set in the StartInterchange event to specify the delimiter to be used.

CrossFieldValidationEnabled:   Enables cross-field validation rules.

If true (default), cross-field validation rules present in the document schema will be checked.

Note, Bots Schema Files do not support syntax rules, therefore CrossFieldValidation rules will never execute for these schemas.

EDIStandard:   The document format.

This property specifies standard that the document follows. Possible values are:

  • 1 (EDIFACT - default)
  • 3 (TRADACOMS)

ElementDelimiter:   The delimiter character separating data elements.

After parsing an EDI document, this configuration option will return the delimiter used to separate data elements within segments of the EDI document.

This configuration option may be set in the StartInterchange event to specify the delimiter to be used.

Encoding:   The character encoding to be applied when reading and writing data.

If the data contains non-ASCII characters this setting should be specified so characters are properly preserved. This value should be set to a valid character set such as "UTF-8" or "ISO-8859-1".

ExtraData:   Extra data that has not been parsed by the component.

This setting will only be populated after the Flush method has been called and data exists in the internal parser which has not been processed.

HasXPath:   Determines if the specified XPath exists.

This setting can be used to query if an XPath exists before setting XPath. For instance: Console.WriteLine(edireader.Config("HasXPath=IX/FG/TX/IT1Loop1/[2]"));

MaxValidationErrors:   The maximum number of errors to save in the ValidationErrors property.

This setting specifies the maximum number of errors that will be kept in the ValidationErrors property. Once this limit is exceeded the ValidationError event will continue to fire but details will not be saved in the ValidationErrors property. The default value is 200.

ReleaseChar:   The character used to escape delimiters within values.

After parsing an EDI document, this configuration option will return the escape character used to escape delimiters within values within the EDI document.

This configuration option may be set in the StartInterchange event to specify the escape character to be used.

ResolveXPathOnSet:   Determines whether or not the XPath is resolved when set.

When true, the class will fully resolve a detailed path when XPath is specified. In this case, the XPath property will contain the XSegment s name as well as the indices when queried after being set.

If this value is set to false, the exact string will be returned when the XPath property is queried from the last time it was set.

For example, the following code will print the string "/[1]/[1]/[1]/[10]" when this value is false, and would print "/IX[1]/FG[1]/TX[1]/IT1Loop1[4]" when this value is true: reader.XPath = "/[1]/[1]/[1]/[10]"; Console.WriteLine(reader.XPath);

In another example, the following code sample will print "IX/FG/TX/IT1Loop1" when false and would print "/IX[1]/FG[1]/TX[1]/IT1Loop1[1]" when true: reader.XPath = "IX/FG/TX/IT1Loop1"; Console.WriteLine(reader.XPath);

This is useful in cases where the full XPath including indices is needed for future processing.

SegmentDelimiter:   The delimiter character separating segments within the EDI document.

After parsing an EDI document, this configuration option will return the delimiter used to separate segments within the EDI document.

This configuration option may be set in the StartInterchange event to specify the delimiter to be used.

StrictSchemaValidation:   Specifies the behavior during schema validation.

This setting specifies what happens when performing schema validation and a validation warning occurs. By default this value is set to 1 (Warn) and the Warning event will fire, but processing will not stop. See the WarnCode parameter list in the Warning event for details about possible validation warnings. Possible values for this setting are:

0 (Ignore) All validation warnings will be ignored. Warning will not fire with warnings.
1 (Warn - default) The Warning event will fire with all validation warnings.
2 (Error) All validation warnings are treated as errors and will cause an exception. Processing will stop immediately.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitive:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

ProcessIdleEvents:   Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.

If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

SelectWaitMillis:   The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.

If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

UseFIPSCompliantAPI:   Tells the class whether or not to use FIPS certified APIs.

When set to true, the class will utilize the underlying operating system's certified APIs. Java editions, regardless of OS, utilize Bouncy Castle FIPS, while all the other Windows editions make use of Microsoft security libraries.

FIPS mode can be enabled by setting the UseFIPSCompliantAPI configuration setting to true. This is a static setting which applies to all instances of all classes of the toolkit within the process. It is recommended to enable or disable this setting once before the component has been used to establish a connection. Enabling FIPS while an instance of the component is active and connected may result in unexpected behavior.

For more details please see the FIPS 140-2 Compliance article.

Note: This setting is only applicable on Windows.

Note: Enabling FIPS-compliance requires a special license; please contact sales@nsoftware.com for details.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.

To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
