Validating a Schema (EDI)

  • Article

You can validate an EDI schema at design time. To do so, you use the XML Tool extensions to BizTalk Server in the Visual Studio environment. The validate-schema operation validates the schema based on EDI rules. You do not have to designate an input message instance to validate a schema.

Prerequisites

You must be logged on as a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators group.

To validate a schema

  1. In Visual Studio, open a project. To the project in Solution Explorer, add the message schema that you want to validate.

    Note

    • The message schemas are located in the appropriate subfolder under the \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server <VERSION>XSD_Schema\EDI folder.
    • You do not have to build the project to validate a schema.

  2. Right-click the schema in Solution Explorer, and then click Validate Schema.

  3. Verify that there is a message in the Output window indicating that the operation succeeded.
