4-char domain name APMH (Associated Persons Medical History)

Hi,

A sponsor and collaborating CRO has this domain included. The Associated Persons standard under development is really part of Model 1.3/1.4 of SDTM, but nonetheless it ends up in our database. Since it is new, it makes sense that the current validators through OpenCDISC 1.4 would not have the validation rules implemented yet for this dataset, and would give a message like "Class Unknown" and reason "Configuration Missing".

However, the APMH dataset gets viewed by OpenCDISC as an unmatched domain once the define.xml is included in the package for validation. This is because the datasets check for OpenCDISC is seeing the dataset name as "AP" instead of four letters "APMH", but the validation done for the define-plus-datasets does pick up the full name from the define, APMH. So the messages appear like this:

AP
MISSING_CONFIG Configuration Unavailable

APMH
SD0061 Domain referenced in define.xml but dataset is missing

I am wondering if for OpenCDISC 1.4.1 whether the dataset prefixed "AP--" could be recognized with having the four letters, APMH in this case, so that the SD0061 message would not get generated.

Thank you,

Joan

Hi Joan, Unfortunately at

Hi Joan,

Unfortunately at this moment OpenCDISC validator does not work with AP-- domains. We just have started implementation of Associated Persons domains and they will be not included in the upcoming v1.4.1 release on the next week.

Kind Regards,

Sergiy

I understand the checks of AP-- structure won't be there.

However, is it possible for the validator to read the name as four letters "APxx", instead of as file "AP" so that when it compares the define list of datasets against the component files in the database, it won't generate msg SD0061 "Domain referenced in define.xml but dataset is missing"?

Thanks,

Joan
