CLT tp check whether an existing DCR is a valid xml file

Please provide me with a method to check on the command line whether a given DCR is a valid xml file

It may be a combination of different clts that would help me arrive at the conclusion..

Basically i need to include this within a perl subroutine to check whether a given dcr is valid.

VERY URGENT.. PLEASE HELP!!

If the DCT is a valid xml, and you are able to save a dcr then the dcr produced will be a valid formed xml structure.
You can verify the dcr formed by using a custom script to parse the xml file formed, and check by getting its result.

Within your Perl subroutine, create your own cusotmised script which makes a Parser object passing the DCR as a parameter. It the object created sucessfully, then your DCR is valid XML else it is not.

As far as CLT is concerned, there is no command as such which can validate your DCR structure.

If you just want to check if the DCR is an xml or not you can use XML DOM parser to open the xml file, if it throws error it is not an valid xml.

Capture that error message to know the cause of failure.

An example of the code that can be used :-


my $parser = new XML:: DOM:arser;
my $doc = $parser->parsefile($DCR_File_Name)
if(!defined($doc)){
print(the xml is not well formed);
}

Try using the CLT

iw-home/bin/iwxml_validate.ipl -d 3 -well dcrFile

Good Luck!!!

Hi,

You can use the below ipl to check whether the DCT is valid or not

iwdctverifier.ipl -i /AbsolutePath/datacapture.cfg

1. To run this ipl you must be logged on to the Teamsite server
2. You should provide the absolute path of the DCT
like for Windows from Y:\default\main\....\datacapture.cfg
for Unix /iwmnt/default/main/..../datacapture.cfg

if there is no error in the DCT then no message will be thrown by the ipl otherwise it will throw the possible error.

Thanks,
Rajesh

The above, while useful, is for verifying the DCT - not the DCR which is what was being asked for --- though it's always best to make sure the DCT is good first.
