DD0015 error using Pinnacle Community version 2.1.0

DD0015 error

Can you publish the snippet (is it def:CommentDef?)?
As one of the developers of the define-XML 2.0 standard, I can probably easily find out whether something or what is wrong.

<def:CommentDef

<def:CommentDef OID="COM.ADSL">

<Description>

<TranslatedText>DM,EX,DS,VS,SUPPDS,PE</TranslatedText>

</Description>

<def:DocumentRef leafID="LF.ADSL.PGM"/>

</def:CommentDef>

In the dataset metadata, I am trying to display SAS code under "Documentation" Section.

def:CommentDef

Ok, now, there should also be a def:leaf element as one of the last child elements of MetaDataVersion. Like:

<def:leaf ID="LF.ADSL.PGM" xlink:href="../programs/adsl-sas.txt">
        <def:title>adsl.sas</def:title>
</def:leaf>

Important is then that there is indeed a file "adsl-sas.txt" in the sibling folder "programs". If there isn't, error DD0015 is thrown. Decisive is the path that is given in the attribute "xlink:href". The content of "def:title" is unimportant, it's just a ... title.

I have the following code as

I have the following code as the last child element of my define.xml:

<def:leaf ID="LF.ADSL.PGM" xlink:href="d0_adsl.sas">

<def:title>adsl.sas</def:title>

</def:leaf>

And the ".sas" exists in the correct folder. The links are working fine in define.xml but I am still error which running open cdisc.

Thanks,

I could reproduce what you are reporting.
I think we will need to await the reaction from someone from P21 to find out what is wrong. Unfortunately the source code is not available anymore, otherwise I could easily find out and maybe even correct if necessary.

Hi Jassi,  I cannot reproduce

Hi Jassi, 

I cannot reproduce your case including usage of your sample code from define file.

Could you send to us your define.xml file for diagnostics?

Thank you,

Hi Sergiy, I have emailed you

Hi Sergiy,

I have emailed you my define.xml at sergiy@opencdisc.org. Please check your email.

Thanks,

Hi Jassi, Thank you for

Hi Jassi,

Thank you for sending a sample define file.

The error is due to a missing reference to the document in <def:SupplementalDoc>

Your file (starting on row 23):

<def:SupplementalDoc>

   <def:DocumentRef leafID="LF.ADRG"/>

</def:SupplementalDoc>

Correct way:

<def:SupplementalDoc>

   <def:DocumentRef leafID="LF.ADRG"/>

   <def:DocumentRef leafID="LF.ADSL.PGM"/>

</def:SupplementalDoc>

I performed quick diagnostics and correction by importing your define file into Pinn21 Community which generates excel specs and then generating new define file from those excel specs. Import process corrected this metadata inconsistency error automatically.

def:DocumentRef

Dear Sergiy,

As one of the developers of as well define.xml 1.0 as 2.0, I want to make the following remark:

Of course I haven't seen Jassi's file (he may always send it to me, so that I can have a visual inspection), but as I understand it, Jassi used the def:DocumentRef within a def:CommentDef element:

<def:CommentDef OID="COM.ADSL">
<Description><TranslatedText>DM,EX,DS,VS,SUPPDS,PE</TranslatedText></Description>

<def:DocumentRef leafID="LF.ADSL.PGM"/>
</def:CommentDef>

In such a case, the define.xml specification does not require to repeat the def:DocumentRef again in the def:SupplementalDoc element, having it in def:CommentDef alone suffices.

With best regards,

Jozef

Hi Jozef, Can you provide me

Hi Jozef,

Can you provide me your email? I will email you my define.xml.

Def:DocumentRef

I agree with what Jozef is stating. Not every document reference does need to be part of def:SupplementalDoc.

I understand and also agree

I understand and also agree with both of you.

However, a text in Define.XML standard is confusing and formally requires "def:SupplementalDoc" to be populated (#4.5, on page 42):

"If a supplemental document is provided, the Define-XML should include a def:SupplementalDoc element"

supplemental documents

Agreed. The text about supplemental documents in the Define-XML specification can certainly be improved and be made more clear. We will do this for the next version.
