Mapping validation errors to InfoSphere DataStage errors

The XML parser reports three types of conditions: fatal, error, and warning.

Fatal errors are thrown when the XML is not well-formed.
Non-fatal errors are thrown when the XML violates a validity constraint. For example, the root element in the document is not found in the validating XML schema.
Warnings may be thrown when the schema has duplicate definitions.

For more information about these conditions, consult the XML and XML Schema specifications on the Worldwide Web Consortium web site.

By mapping parsing messages to InfoSphere™ DataStage® error levels, you decide how parsing messages and faulty XML documents are processed.

The following table describes how each InfoSphere DataStage error level is processed.

InfoSphere DataStage error level	Result
Reject	Faulty document rows and messages can be written to a Reject link, if one exists. You can also send the messages to the job log. For more information about processing messages and documents, see Using Reject links.
Fatal	The server job terminates, and the messages are written to the job log.
Warning	A warning message is written to the job log.
Info	An information message is written to the job log.
Trace	If the job runs with tracing set on, debug and monitoring information is written to the job log.
