SDTM CT version when validating an ADaM package

SDTM CT for ADaM

In the latest Pinnacle Community 2.1.0, the ADaM configuration will only allow you to select on of the ADaM published CT found in components\config\data\CDISC\ADaM.  You are correct in that ADSL and ADAE does have some fields that should be validated against SDTM CT lilke RACE, SEX, AGUE, SEVERITY, etc...

Currently Pinnacle 21 Enterprise allows ADaM to be validated against both ADaM and SDTM CT simultaneously.   Community does not have this option (which would require another drop down and logic to read and apply both correctly).    So in essensce it ignores SDTM CT checks.

ADam define.xml checks on SDTM-CT - Web Services

Dear Thierry,

Additionally, you can also easily perform such checks using a CDISC RESTful web service. Take a look at http://xml4pharmaserver.com/WebServices/index.html#CDISCCT and you will find a web service "Get whether a coded value is a valid value for the given codelist". We have implemented this for SDTM (ADaM soon coming). As SAS supports RESTful web services, you can probably easily write a little SAS program that calls the service, and checks each of your SDTM-CT-Terms whether it is a valid value for the given codelist. You can of course do similarly in any other modern programming language (Java, C#, C++, XQuery, ...).

Best regards,

Jozef

'Unknown codelist' messages in the log file when using ADaM CT

Hi,

When specifying an ADaM Codelist using the latest P21 Community 2.2.0, several messages appear in the desktop.log4j2.log regarding unknown SDTM codelists for typical SDTM variables such as RACE, SEX, ... (see below)

Can these messages be avoided/removed from the log file?
Since only one codelist at a time can be checked with the Community version, these messages seem not applicable for ADAM codelists.

Thanks for your reply,
