This function invokes the EDMmodelChecker to validate all instances in the specified data model against the rules and constraints specified in the <options> argument. The result of the validation can be a text report, a population of the Express schema EDM_Validation_Result_Schema or both. A population of the EDM_Validation_Result_Schema enables the caller to make his own diagnostic report in his own format. There exist two options that will influence the amount of information in the validation report produced by this function: NO_PRINT_OUTPUT and FULL_OUTPUT. A standard validation report will be produced when none of these options are set in the <options> argument. A validation report with all available detailed information is produced when the FULL_OUTPUT option is set. No validation report will be produced when the NO_PRINT_OUTPUT option is enabled. The validation result would then normally be in a population of the EDM_Validation_Result_Schema. When validating data model against rules specified in an EDMruleSchema, only he following validation options are effective: FULL_VALIDATION, GLOBAL_RULES, LOCAL_RULES, UNIQUENESS_RULES. FULL_VALIDATION means in this context: GLOBAL_RULES | LOCAL_RULES | UNIQUENESS_RULES. This function is only applicable to data models. The data model that holds the instance to validate must be open before this operation can be successfully performed. The expressions logging can be used to log (trace) the execution of the validation process in the EDMexpressVM. The EDMsupervisor and the interactive EDMdebugger can be used for testing and debugging the rules as well as getting detailed information of a validation process.

Arguments

Type	Name	Comment
GENERIC	modelId	A numeric modelID that uniquely identifies the model in the EDMdatabase to validate.
STRING	diagnosticFile	Specifies the file name for diagnostic information generated by this function. If no file name is supplied, i.e. the <diagnosticFile> argument is set to NULL, all diagnostic information will be written to the EDMinterface current output device.
INTEGER	options	Specifies the enabled options used by the EDMmodelChecker in the current invocation. The <options> value is specified as a bitwise OR between the enabled options.
GENERIC	ruleSchemaId	A numeric ruleSchemaID that uniquely identifies the rule schema instance in the EDMdatabase that defines the rules to be validated in this operation.
STRING	userOutputFile	Specifies the name of a file that will be used to receive the result of executing the xpxPrintf and xpxOutputValue function during the validation operation. The specified file can be an existing file or the name of a file that will be created by the EDMmodelChecker. The default file extension is ".txt". The output from the xpxPrintf and xpxOutputValue function during the validation process will be written to the EDMinterface current output device when the <userOutputFile> is set to NULL.
GENERIC	validationResultId	The address of a variable of type SdaiInstance that will receive a numeric instanceID that uniquely identifies an instance of type validation_error in a population of the EDM_Validation_Result_Schema that contains all details of the violations detected in the last invocation of the EDMmodelChecker. No population of the EDM_Validation_Result_Schema will be produced when the <validationErrorId> argument is NULL on input.
GENERIC	returnValue	Address of variable that will receive the value from the actual validation process. The actual value must be specified by invoking the xpxReturnValueToCaller procedure in the validation process in the EDMexpressVM.
INTEGER	numberOfParameters	Specifies the number of parameters supplied in the actual invocation of the operation.
GENERIC	argument(n)	Actual parameter value.

Options

Option	Comment
XPXFULL_VALIDATION	Specifies that the actual instance will be validated against all rules and constrains that is applicable for this particular instance. When the argument <ruleSchemaId> is specified unequal to zero, this options means the following options: GLOBAL_RULES, LOCAL_RULES, UNIQUENESS_RULES
XPXGLOBAL_RULES	Specifies that all global rules appropriate for the specified instance will be validated. These global rules are defined in the appropriate dictionary model (Express schema) or defined in the specified EDMruleSchema.
XPXLOCAL_RULES	Specifies that all local rules (Where rules) appropriate for the specified instance will be validated. These local rules are defined in the appropriate dictionary model (Express schema) or defined in the specified EDMruleSchema.
XPXINVERSE_RULES	Specifies that all Inverse constraints defined for the actual instance will be validated. This option is not applicable when the argument <ruleSchemaId> is set unequal zero.
XPXUNIQUENESS_RULES	Specifies that all Uniqueness rules defined for the actual instance will be validated.
XPXREQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES	Specifies that all mandatory attributes, i.e., all explicit attributes that are not declared to be OPTIONAL, of the instance will be checked for an assigned value, i.e., checked that the attribute values are set. This option is not applicable when the argument <ruleSchemaId> is set unequal zero.
XPXATTRIBUTE_DATA_TYPE	Specifies that all attribute values of the instance will be checked for legal data type. This option is not applicable when the argument <ruleSchemaId> is set unequal zero.
XPXAGGREGATE_DATA_TYPE	Specifies that all element values in all aggregates owned by the specified instance will be checked for legal data type. This option is not applicable when the argument <ruleSchemaId> is set unequal zero.
XPXAGGREGATE_SIZE	Specifies that the number of elements in all aggregates owned by the specified instance is according to the related aggregate declarations. This option is not applicable when the argument <ruleSchemaId> is set unequal zero.
XPXARRAY_REQUIRED_ELEMENTS	Specifies that all elements in arrays, that are not declared as OPTIONAL, owned by the instance, will be checked for an assigned value, i.e., checked that no unset elements exists. This option is not applicable when the argument <ruleSchemaId> is set unequal zero.
XPXAGGREGATE_UNIQUENESS	Specifies that all aggregates owned by the specified instance will be validated for uniqueness violation. Aggregates that have an uniqueness constraints are all SET aggregates, and ARRAY and LIST aggregates that are declared with the optional keyword UNIQUE. This option is not applicable when the argument <ruleSchemaId> is set unequal zero.
XPXUNSET_DERIVE_ATTRIBUTES	Specifies that warnings will be issued if unset derived attributes are found. This option is not applicable when the argument <ruleSchemaId> is set unequal zero.
XPXOUTPUT_STEPID	Specifies that the stepID corresponding to the instanceID will be written to the validation report when the actual correspondence exists in a STEP Identifier model.
XPXFULL_OUTPUT	Specifies that all available information about the source of the errors will be recorded in the diagnostic report from this command.
XPXSTOP_ON_FIRST_ERROR	Specifies that the validation process should terminate when the first error is detected.
