Hi everyone, The Alpha 2 release of the OpenCDISC Validator is now available! Download OpenCDISC Validator Alpha 2 here The latest version introduces a number of new features with most important being the capability to perform cross-dataset validations and lookup validations. The latter allows dataset content to be validated against dictionaries such as MedDRA and LOINC as well as data management and trial management systems. This is made possible by the ability to define rules against data stored in a number of supported database engines and external SAS® XPORT files. Currently supported databases are Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL. With the latest enhancements the OpenCDISC Validator now support approximately 85% of documented Janus and WebSDM validation rules.
