The xpfValidateInstance function validates an instance, i.e. checks that the attribute values of the instance do not violate any of the constraints/rules defined in the corresponding entity definition. <instanceId> The instance to be checked. <diagnosticFile> Name of file where the diagnostics are placed. The argument options specifies the options that should be used during the validation.

Arguments

Type	Name	Comment
GENERIC	instanceId	Instance id of the instance to be validated
STRING	diagnosticFile	Path to the diagnostic file
INTEGER	options	options, see below
GENERIC	ruleSchemaId	Unique id of the rule schema within the EDMdatabase
STRING	userOutputFile	Path to the output file
GENERIC	validationResultsId

Return Value

Type	Name	Comment
LOGICAL	result	comments

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.
