3 Validating E2B Reports

In order to successfully transmit any E2B Report, it must validated for its mandatory components before transmitting the report.

Why perform an E2B Check?

During case data entry and prior to E2B file generation, the user may want to verify that sufficient data and the quality of data collected will generate a valid E2B file.

To do so, a Data Validation check is required for E2B profiles and to provide a listing of data elements that do not satisfy the criteria required to generate an E2B report.

On performing an E2B check, the system performs a validation and lists the following types of validation errors for the data elements that are failing the validations in 'E2B Report data check errors and warnings':

1. Mandatory

2. Mandatory Optional

3. Together DTD Element Validation

4. Other Validation

5. Date Validation

6. E2B Generation Validation (Fatal Validations)

You can run an E2B check by clicking the E2B icon from the Quick Launch menu shown below.

Note: The E2B check icon is visible on the Quick Launch Toolbar ONLY if a case is open and active on the user session.

Running an E2B check validates if the E2B report has all these mandatory elements present that is required for its successful processing.This check performs the function that prints the ”E2B Report – DTD Length Check Warnings” and ”E2B report – DTD Validation”.

The following illustration shows a sample E2B check report that is generated in PDF format:

As can be seen in the PDF, the sample report displays the case form fields where the validation error has occurred.

Apart from the case form location where the error occurred, the report lists the type of error, data elements, DTD elements, the actual message/cause of the error, and the profiles which were tested for each validation type.

The validation checks are profile-dependent but every E2B check report tests for Mandatory Elements check and Mandatory Optional Elements check.

Report Generation Validations

The system performs the following validations at the time of report generations and displays validation error if there are failures:

1. Missing Mandatory Elements

2. Missing Mandatory Optional Elements

3. Length Validation for character data

4. M2 Code validation

5. NCI Code data validation (for eVAERS only)

6. Report File Size validation (for eVAERS only)

The system displays an error message in the following scenarios:

1. While generating draft E2B or eVAERS report using Draft tool button, if the default Reporting Destination is not specified for E2B or eVAERS in Common Profile Switches.

2. While generating draft/final E2B or eVAERS report for the Reporting Destination which is not configured with valid Message Profile as E2B or eVAERS respectively.

3. While generating eVAERS report with inline attachments and size of xml file exceeds the maximum file size limit specified in Common Profile Switch.
