Define.xml

Here is what the raw xml file looks like for the BG domain:

<ItemGroupDef OID="IG.BG" Name="BG" Repeating="Yes" IsReferenceData="No" SASDatasetName="BG"
                       Purpose="Tabulation"
                       def:Structure="One record per test per interval per subject"
                       def:Class="FINDINGS"
                       def:ArchiveLocationID="LF.BG">

Here is what it should look like with the inclusion of the DOMAIN attribute:

I am producing an SDTM master spec xlsx doc automated via ODS EXCEL which should produce a native xlsx file for define creation in 2.2.0.

When I try feed in the xlsx spec, pinnacle 21 crashes and no define generated. When i open the XLSX in excel and 'Save As' to another file name without alteration to the content and feed back into Pinnacle 21, the define is created no problem. Is there a known issue using specs created via eg ODS EXCEL directly?

I am trying to validate  define.xml file. The software crashes with following bug:

Is it possible to generate the Define.xml in 2.2.0 using CLI?  I have used:

java -jar \\pinnacle21-community-2-2-0\components\lib\define-generator-1.1.7.jar -template=".......\\ADaM_define_spec_master.xlsx" -destination=".....\\define.xml"

However, I get the warning: -template=".......\\ADaM_define_spec_master.xlsx" is not a valid file (or is inaccessible)

The master template files does exist and the path is correct and when I manually feed this file into P21 I have no issues?

Thanks!

Hi, 

I am getting this wired error within pinnacle 21 as Invalid use of Domain attribute, where the value of Domain, Dataset is ADSL, ADSL. Can someone help with this error and how to fix it. 

Thank you, 

Aadesh.

When I create the excel specs from my define. It seems to generate a unique number at the end of the Where Clause column (Valuelevel tab) and Id column (WhereClauses tab). Where is this unique number (e398a687) coming from as it is not defined in my xml code?

Hi,

Do you have any presentations or step-by-step instructions on how to create define.xml from .xpt files using your Pinnacle21 - Community version 2.2.0?

Thanks,

Hi,

In Define v2.0 specs, it says that for float type, both length and significant digits should be provided. However the examples provided for both SDTM and ADaM, there is no precision provided for float. What are folks doing with this requirement and how?

This is related to a discussion I was having under the Troubleshooting and Problems area:

https://www.pinnacle21.com/forum/c66736-tindp-2016-03-25-version-ct

But now I think the actual issue is slightly different than what I first suspected.

It seems that the version of CT that I select when setting up the define.xml validation is NOT the version that is actually used for validation.  For example, I am getting DD0028 Errors for any CT that changed from my version 2016-03-25, and the current version of CT.

Is it possible to jump to the specified CRF page which is set in the value level metadata?

I clicked the hyperlink with CRF page 9 in define XML for example, and always jumped to page 1 not page 9.
