Reference: Validate Step Properties

Common Tab

Property	XML Attribute Name	Description
Step ID	id	The unique ID of the validate step within the assembly.
Input	input	Specifies where the validate step obtains data as input. There are 5 possible values: message : the entire message, including rootpart and attachments. soapbody : the content of the SOAP body from the rootpart of the message. Only applicable when the input contains a SOAP message. attachment : a MIME attachment within the message. Specify the attachment index. rootpart : the content of the rootpart of a MIME message. If the message isn't MIME, Studio selects the entire message. variable : use a named variable from the MediationContext .
Schema	schema	The location of the schema file that the step uses to validate the message. If you specify a location instead of an MVEL template, Workday uses pooled validators.
Namespaces	namespaces	The namespaces used by your XPath expression in the format prefix namespace prefix2 namespace2 . Overrides namespace mappings in the assembly.xml file.
Xpath	xpath	An XPath expression that selects elements for validation.
Failure Message	failure-message	A custom error message that overrides the default error message when a validation error occurs. Error messages display only when you set the Filter property to false .

Advanced Tab

Property	XML Attribute Name	Description
Description	description	A description of the validate step that displays in the consolidated log. You can use this feature to describe the step's function and the data on which it is operating.
Execute When	execute-when	A condition that determines whether the validate step executes.
Mode	mode	The type of validation performed. The options are: schema : validates against a W3C XML schema. dtd : validates against a Document Type Definition. well-formed : verifies that the XML is well-formed.
DTD	dtd	The location of the DTD file that the step uses to validate the message.
Replace Message	replace-message	Indicates whether to use the custom error message set as the Failure Message property when validation fails.
XPath Version	xpath-version	Specifies whether to use XPath version 1.0 or 2.0. Enter the value 1 for assembly versions through Workday 11, and 2 for assembly versions Workday 12 onwards. Workday ignores this property if the stream-xpath value is set to true . You can enable Workday to set the version dynamically using an MVEL template that inserts a system property value. Example: @{props.get('the_version')} .
Filter	filter	Specifies whether to interrupt mediation message processing when validation fails. The default value is false , meaning Studio passes validation errors to error-handlers defined within the component. If set to true , Studio executes response steps for the component but discards the message and invokes no further steps. It doesn't raise an error.
