The eBIZ-TCF Validator

Explanation about the usage >>

This tool allows checking that a given xml document is conformant to some chosen eBIZ-TCF schema, both in structure and content.
The verification process consists of various steps.

• First, the user is required to upload a file containing the xml document to be validated (the document alone, not any SOAP or ebXML envelope).
  This has to be well formed, which means that the basic XML syntax is respected.
  In case of failure, the tool signals a fatal error of well-formedness type, with a message describing the error made.
  In case of success, the user is then required to classify the document, according to the available categories (downstream, upstream TC, upstream FW,..etc).
  As a consequence, a list of eBiz-TCF Schemas is provided, all belonging to the chosen category (catalogue, order,..).
• Second, the user selects the XML Schema from that list against which the validation will be made.
  
• Third, the user selects the button 'validate'.
  The result is a validation report, specifying either success or failure of the validation.
  In the last case, the output contains a list of all errors and warnings detected, distinguished in two groups:
  • XML Schema errors, mainly due to structure constraints violations (both violation of generic UBL 2.0 or of the use profile specifications)
  • Schematron errors, specifying violations of context constraints (mainly rules taken from the use profile specifications; only for Downstream documents).
  
  

Please note that choosing a wrong schema would cause an xml schema error on the first tag of the uploaded document.
