  • <mdm:field> or <mdm:fieldGroup> is invalid. Error message:

    <mdm:error>Invalid field or field group</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> or <mdm:fieldGroup> has a uniqueId attribute value that is the same as that of another such element. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Unique ID CITY is a duplicate</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> has a type attribute value that differs from that of the corresponding field in the specified model. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Field CITY type cannot be changed</mdm:error>
    note

    This error is applicable only to the Update Model operation.

  • <mdm:field> does not specify all required properties. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Missing required properties for field city</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> has a maxLength attribute value that exceeds the system limit of 255 characters. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Field CITY has more than 255 characters</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> has minLength and maxLength attribute values that do not reflect the system minimum length requirement of one character and maximum length requirement of 255 characters. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Field CITY length must be at least one character and less than 256 characters</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> has a uniqueId attribute value of a length that exceeds the system limit for its type. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Field UNIQUEIDLONGERTHANTHESYSTEMCHARACTERLIMITFORNONREFERENCEFIELDSOF64 has more than 64 characters</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> has a repeatable attribute value that differs from that of the corresponding field in the published model. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Field CITY Repeatability cannot be changed because the model is published</mdm:error>
    note

    This error is applicable only to the Update Model operation.

  • <mdm:field> with a repeatable attribute value of true does not specify all required properties. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Missing required properties for collection field PHONE</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> with a repeatable attribute value of true has a collectionUniqueId attribute value that, given the model name length, exceeds the system limit. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Collection field COLLECTIONUNIQUEIDLONGERTHANTHESYSTEMCHARACTERLIMITFOF51FORAMODELWITHA7CHARACTERNAME has more than 51 characters</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:fieldGroup> with a repeatable attribute value of true has duplicate key values in the value of its collectionKeys attribute. Error message:

    <mdm:error>Collection key is not unique</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> represents a collection item field with an invalid identifyBy attribute value. The valid values are KEY and OCCURRENCE. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Invalid matching type for collection field PHONE</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> represents an intra-domain reference field with true as its required attribute value. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Reference field MANAGER cannot be Required because it references this model</mdm:error>
    note

    This error is applicable only to the Update Model operation.

  • <mdm:field> represents a reference field with a referenceUniverseId attribute value that differs from that of the referenceUniverseId attribute of the corresponding field in the published model. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Referenced model cannot be updated for reference field ACCOUNT</mdm:error>
    note

    This error is applicable only to the Update Model operation.

  • <mdm:field> represents a reference field for which the referenceUniverseId attribute is either missing or does not have a value. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Reference field ACCOUNT is missing or does not specify a referenced universe</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> represents a collection reference field with its incomingReferenceIntegrity attribute value erroneously not set to true. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>IncomingReferenceIntegrity must be true when REFERENCE field ACCOUNT is repeatable</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:field> represents a required collection reference field with its outgoingReferenceIntegrity attribute value erroneously not set to true. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>OutgoingReferenceIntegrity must be true when REFERENCE field ACCOUNT is required</mdm:error>

  • <mdm:fieldGroup> has a uniqueId attribute value that corresponds to that of a field in the specified model. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Field CITY cannot be changed to a field group</mdm:error>
    note

    This error is applicable only to the Update Model operation.

  • <mdm:field> has a uniqueId attribute value that corresponds to that of a field group in the specified model. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Field group ADDRESS cannot be changed to a field</mdm:error>
    note

    This error is applicable only to the Update Model operation.

  • The collectionKeys attribute value for <mdm:fieldGroup> specifies a key that is not the uniqueId attribute value of any child <mdm:field> element. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Collection Key SITEURL does not exist in the field group</mdm:error>

  • The collectionKeys attribute for <mdm:fieldGroup> is erroneously populated with a meaningless value, given the element’s identifyBy attribute value of OCCURRENCE. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Collection keys for field group PHONE are not applicable to matching by occurrence</mdm:error>

  • The mask attribute values PARTIAL MASK and PARTIAL SHOW for <mdm:field> are invalid when the field type attribute is BOOLEAN. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Select the All or None mask type for the Name field.</mdm:error>

  • The mask attribute values PARTIAL MASK and PARTIAL SHOW for <mdm:field> are invalid when the field type attribute is REFERENCE. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Masking is not available for reference fields.</mdm:error>

  • firstMaskCharsCount or lastMaskCharsCount is a required attribute when<mdm:field> has the mask attribute values PARTIAL MASK or PARTIAL SHOW. Sample error message:

    <mdm:error>Enter a character amount to partially mask field values.</mdm:error>

  • The character length for firstMaskCharsCount and lastMaskCharsCount cannot be less 0 or greater than 255 characters. Sample error message:
