Define.xml

Hello,

I am running the Open CDISC Validation Checks with Command Line. It all runs perfectly fine for Validation Checks but not for Define.xml Generation. For the benefit of others, below are the scripts I am using.

For ADaM Validation:

unzip opencdisc-validator-1.3-bin.zip

java -jar "./opencdisc-validator/lib/validator-cli-1.3.jar" -type=Custom -task=validate -source="../03 ADaM/01 XPT/*.xpt" -config="./config-adam-1.0.xml" -report="../03 ADaM/metadata/OpenCDISCADaM10.xls" report:overwrite="yes"

Hello all,

I'm a little puzzled what information should define.xml contain in the CodeList sections and non-standard values.

#1. The Codelist entry should contain all available values for that CodeList or jjust the ones used into the current dataset?

E.g. CL.C66731.SEX contains the F, M, U, UN values (see "SEND Terminology.xls"). If my dataset contains just M and F values for SEX, the Codelist in define.xml should contain:

a) entries just for M and F?

b) entries for all 4 values from SEND Terminology?

Hi,

Once CDISC has officially has accepted Define.xml 2.0 as the standard, will OpenCDISC be updated accordingly??

Thanks,

Hello,

Hi,

I have tried to create define.xml and i have filled 

1. The Source data & configuration but when i entered to code list i have filled the path where i have information about study

but i was not implemented in define.xml.

Could you please suggest me the procedure to fill the xls sheet to add in the code list.

Dear All,

In order to validate Define.xml I have created I ran it through OpenCDISC validator and found this error as shown below regarding Annotated Case Report form:

//MetaDataVersion[@OID='CDISC.SDTM.3.1.2']/def:leaf[1]    def:leaf   Annotated Case Report Form  DD0023   Element 'def:leaf' in wrong order within Define.xml    Metadata   Error

I tried to look for which element is ordered incorrectly but all my efforts went in vain.

Dear All,

I have question about adding External Dictionaries such as MedDRa under Codelist in Define.xml. I would like to know how should I add the dictionary

1.) under codelist value level metadata file and then add into Define.xml or it can be added directly into       Define.xml usingfollowing code:

    PUT "  <CodeList OID="AEDICT" Name="ADVERSE EVENT DICTIONARY" DataType="text">;

    PUT " <ExternalCodeList Dictionary="MEDDRA" Version="10.0"/>;

    PUT "</CodeList>"

While attempting to validate a define.xml, I get the following error:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 100

Dear All,

Hello.

I am creating the define.xml file for ADaM and am wondering how to print display information in the "Controlled Terms or Format" column.  Eg. TRTSDT uses YYMMDD10. SAS format.

Thanks,
