Validating XML Files

Sun Master Index includes one XML schema definition (XSD) file for each configuration file. Before saving changes to a file, be sure to validate it against the XSD file to make sure no dependencies have been broken during modification.

To Validate XML Syntax

1. After you save any changes to a configuration file to the Repository, keep the file open and right-click in the text of the file.

2. On the context menu that appears, click Check XML.

3. A message appears indicating the status of the validation and, if there were errors, includes a list of errors.

4. Fix any errors found in the file and revalidate.

To Validate Against the Schema

2. On the context menu that appears, click Validate.

3. A message appears indicating the status of the validation and, if there were errors, includes a list of errors.
