About the MedML Installer window

Definitions are processed from the bottom up. Make sure that your component definitions and XML files are organized in the correct order. The elemental components, such as controls, must be defined, imported, and read first, followed by items that reference them.

MedML Installer utility field descriptions

Field

Description

XML File

The name of the file to add to (or modify in) the install.

XML Files to be Processed

A list of all of the files to be included in the next install.

Trial Name

The name of the study on which you are working.

Additional Path

If you are using a response (RSP) file to process a group of XML files, type the name of the root directory where the XML files that are referenced in the RSP file are located.

Verbose

Creates a detailed description of what happened during the build.

Parse Only

Checks the input file for XML errors and compatibility with the InForm database without loading data.

Strict Mode

Accepts only complete component definitions.

By default, the checkbox is not selected, indicating nonstrict mode. In nonstrict mode, the MedML Installer utility accepts incomplete component definitions in which not all dependent components are present. For example, it accepts a radio control definition in which not all of the element definitions have been loaded previously into the database.

Note: This option is available only if you start the utility from the command line with the -notstrict option. Nonstrict mode is intended only for a study development environment. Do not use it in production.

Similarly, once a connection is defined, you can only load study definition data with strict MedML processing.

Online

Starts the study in online mode. By default, the checkbox is selected. In online mode, if a study is not started when you start the MedML Installer utility, the utility starts the study and does not shut it down when the installation is complete. This mode allows users to view the results of installing study definition data immediately.

If you deselect this checkbox, the MedML Installer utility starts the study in offline mode. In offline mode, the MedML Installer utility stops the study when installation is complete. Users cannot connect to the study until it is restarted.

Note: This option is available only if you start the utility from the command line with the -online option.

Output file

Location of a file that contains processing messages.
