Hello All,

Is it possible to impose required constraint at value level?

for example in below xml, I wnt to make sure value for alias1, coli1 and operator is always populated in condition element within where element.



functionalView name="CLAIMS_FV" description="Learning Purpose">

<columns>

<column name="CLAI.CODE" columnAlias="CODE" description="The code of the claim" />

<column name="CLLI.CODE" columnAlias="LINE_CODE" description="The code of the claim line" />

<column name="PROC.CODE" columnAlias="PROC_CODE" description="The code of the claim line procedure" />

</columns>

<fromviews>

<fromview name="CLAIMS_V" alias="CLAI" />

<fromview name="LINES_V" alias="CLLI" />

<fromview name="PROC_V" alias="PROC" />

<fromview name="PROV_V" alias="PROV" />

<fromview name="FORMS_V" alias="CLFO"/>

<fromview name="FORMTYPES_V" alias="CFTY"/>

</fromviews>

<joins>

<join alias1="CLLI" col1="CLAI_ID" condition="=" alias2="CLAI" col2="ID"/>

<join alias1="CLFO" col1="ID" condition="=" alias2="CFTY" col2="CLFO_ID"/>

<join alias1="CFTY" col1="ID" condition="=" alias2="PROC" col2="CFTY_ID"/>

<leftouterjoin alias1="PROV" col1="ID" condition="=" alias2="CLAI" col2="PROVIDER_ID"/>

</joins>

<where>

<condition alias1="CFTY" col1="CODE" operator="=" string="" number="" date= "" />

</where>

</functionalView>

Hello Rajneesh,

I don't know what you do you mean by "always populated". If you want to make sure that a value is set for the alias1, coli1 and operator attributes, you can add a restriction on the string type. For example you can check that the length of the value is greater than one, something like this:
