The above is a quote from a earlier post in this forum. I have a transformation issue, which I am current trying to solve with a Compute node (ESQL). I receive a XML input message which need to be verified for require fields. What are the other methods? I know MAPPING and Message SETS are a few.
Input message - pre-validated
<xml-data>
<datahdr>
<hdrID>
<itemID>
<itemName/>
<itemDesc/>
</itemID>
</hdrID>
</datahdr>
</xml-data>
Input message - validated
<xml-data>
<datamesg/>
<datatype/>
<datahdr>
<hdrID>
<itemID>
<itemName/>
<itemDesc/>
<itemValue/>
</itemID>
</hdrID>
</datahdr>
</xml-data> |

The only two "out of the box" Validation choices in Broker are modelling your data using MRM, and hand-writing code to check that each field matches business criteria.
I suppose it's possible to use XSLT to do this, but I'd just use MRM instead.
Madi is correct to point out the XML Validation support pack - this will allow you to specify a Schema that defines the business rules to check the XML message against. But, an MRM message set is pretty much just a schema and can be created from a schema. So I'd only use the Support Pack if the decision has been cast in stone not to use the MRM.

Thanks for the responses. The current solution is to model the message by hand-writing esql code. I could not find the XML Validation support pack when I look for it.
thanks

| Does anyone have an example of esql to check each field present, location and value? |
