Switch off/Deactivate rules

Hi,

I tried to deactivate some of the rules running in the SDTM validator. My guess was that it was as easy as modifying the xml file (in my case the SDTM 3.1.2 (FDA).xml file), but this didn't work, at least not in the way I did it.

I just simply switched the rules that I wanted to be switched off to Active="No":

For example:

<val:ValidationRuleRef RuleID="CT2002" Active="No"/>

But when I run the validator after this, using this file, the rules I switched off still appear in the report.

What do I do wrong here? How can I switch off rules?

thanks,

Kind regards,

Hans

I can switch rules, using OCC

I can switch rules, using OCC v2 and SDTM 3.1.2 (FDA).xml. You probablly switched the rules of wrong Domain?If you want to switch rule:CT2002 of DM, you have to switch rule of 88th line.(more information:CO is CT2002 of 183th line)Best regards.Kei

Solved!

Hi Kei,

Thanks for your response, you are completely right. I was under the impression that the rules on controlled terminology where 'global rules', but they have to be switched off for every Domain (I should have looked a little bit further...).

I updated the xml file now for every domain, and the rules are not running anymore.

thanks,
Hans
