Invokes the EDMmodelChecker to validate an application instance against a specified local rule (also denoted Where Rules) in a remote EDMdatabase. The local rule must be defined within the dictionary model of the data model. It may be defined in the data models underlying Express Schema or in any EDMruleSchema that has been compiled to extend the data models dictionary model.The result of the validation may be a plain text report or a population of the EDM_VALIDATION_RESULT_SCHEMA. The validation result population may be used for generating validation reports with a user defined layout and format. The expressions logging can be used to trace the validation process in the EDMexpressVM. The EDMsupervisor and the interactive EDMdebugger may be used for testing and debugging rules as well as for getting detailed information from the validation process.
Arguments
| Type | Name | Comment |
| SdaiServerContext | serverContextId | Context identification, from edmiDefineServerContext |
| SdaiAppInstance | currInst | A numeric instanceID that uniquely identifies the application instance to be validated in the remote EDMdatabase |
| SdaiVersion | version | The version of the edmModel for which to apply this operation. A zero value means the current version. |
| SdaiString | remoteWhereRuleName | The name of the local rule to validate. Rule names are case insensitive. If the <remoteWhereRuleName> is not unique within the specified instance, the rule name must be qualified with the name of the entity from which it was originally inherited. |
| SdaiInteger | nFileMappings | Currently not used. |
| SdaiFileMapping | FileMapping | Currently not used. |
| SdaiInteger | options | Currently not used. |
| SdaiString | remoteRuleSchemaName | The name of the EDMruleSchema to use for the validation. Rule schema names are case insensitive. If this argument is NULL or an empty string, the population will be validated against the rules and constraints defined in the models underlying Express Schema. |
| SdaiLogDescription | logDescription | An SdaiLogDescription structure containing the specifications for the logging of the validation process. |
| SdaiInteger | numberOfParameters | The number of parameters in the <parameters> argument. |
| SdaiSelect | parameters | Buffer of pointers to locally allocated tSdaiSelect structures. Each tSdaiSelect structure defines the type and value of an input parameter to the validation process. |
| SdaiSelect | userReturnedValue | Pointer to a locally allocated tSdaiSelect structure that may be used by the global rule to communicate a user defined status with the calling application. |
| SdaiLogical | result | An SdaiLogical variable that will receive the result of the local rule validation. The returned logical values means; |
| SdaiInvocationId | edmiInvocationId | Currently not used. |
