Questions about creating and validating Define.xml

March 2, 2018

Hello,

  I'm trying to validate an ADaM Define.xml using P21 Community and when I run the report using the ADaM CT Standard and Define configuration, I get the DD0055: "Invalid Class value" error. When I check my class values against those specified in the rules, they match (except for OCCURRENCE DATA STRUCTURE from V1.1 which I know is a known issue) so I don't understand if this is an issue with P21 Community or if this is an issue on my end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,

Erika

Hello,

  I'm trying to validate an ADaM Define.xml using P21 Community and when I run the report using the ADaM CT Standard and Define configuration, I get the DD0045: "Missing Domain value" error. I'm not really sure why I am getting this error message since the details for DD0045 seem to suggest this check should only be applied for SDTM and SEND data. Is this an issue with P21 Community or am I missing something?

Thanks so much,

Erika

Dear all,

I'm creating the define.xml by using all xpt files. But the contents for codelist and valuelist is missing in the define.xml.  That is , the define.xml only contains the Itemgroupdef and Itemdef .

What could be the problem?

Thanks a lot!

In SDTMIG Section 4.1.1.9 Assigning Natural Keys in the Metadata , it shows how to specify key variables when it spans across to supplemental qualifiers.

The example given was 

STUDYID, USUBJID, PEDTC, PETESTCD, PELOC, PEMETHOD, QNAM.PEMAKE, QNAM.PEMODEL

Is it possible to specify such type of keys in the define.xml spec sheet and have it generated in define.xml. Is this functionality supported.

 

If we have to do it manually, do you think this is the right place to do it.

Dear Development Team,

I have a question regarding DD0039 (Variable is in wrong order within Dataset “XX”).
Our define file has a unique itemdef that is defined for each distinct combination of attributes for a variable.
For example, if Length or Comment variess across domains for a variable, in the XML, it is suffixed with a value (e.g.  .V1, .V2) to uniquely identify the different combinations.

Dear all,

I am validating define.xml 2.0 and getting this issue, "Missing Value Level metadata for QVAL in Dataset <dataset>" for all my SUPPQUAL datasets, and I cannot figure out why. Here's the definition of SUPPAE.QVAL:

<ItemDef OID="SUPPAE.QVAL" Name="QVAL" DataType="text" Length="7" SASFieldName="QVAL">
<Description>
<TranslatedText>Data Value</TranslatedText>
</Description>
<def:ValueListRef ValueListOID="SUPPAE.QNAM"/>
</ItemDef>
