DESCRIPTION

This free suite contains the Depth, Rules Checker, and Syntax Checker tools (also included in the SEDRIS SDK).


RELEASE INFORMATION

Current version is 3.1.1. These tools are SEDRIS 3.1.1 compliant, and are also included in the SEDRIS SDK Release 3.1.1.

These applications are linked statically, and additional documentation is included in the downloads. You do not need to download or install the SEDRIS SDK to use these tools.


FEATURES

Depth

  • Performs a depth-first search traversal of the given STF transmittal, and prints the output to stdout.
  • Primarily intended for use by data providers to debug data relationships.
  • Operates on any platform that supports a C compiler and the SEDRIS Read API.

Rules Checker

  • Verifies the structural semantics of a given STF transmittal against the DRM Constraints.
  • Prints error messages for any problems that it finds in a SEDRIS transmittal.
  • Aids data providers in developing semantically correct transmittals by reporting and explaining encountered errors.
  • Data consumers may find Rules Checker useful to verify that a transmittal is semantically correct before the consumers try to process a transmittal.

Syntax Checker

  • Verifies the syntactic correctness of a given STF transmittal.
  • Aids data providers in developing syntactically correct SEDRIS transmittals by reporting and explaining encountered errors.
  • Data consumers may find Syntax Checker useful to verify that a transmittal is syntactically correct before the consumers try to process a transmittal.
  • Operates on any platform that supports a C compiler and the SEDRIS Read API.


LIMITATIONS

  • Not all the SEDRIS DRM constraints are checked by the current version of the Rules Checker. Please see Rules Checker documentation for details.
