NAME
s1kd-brexcheck - Validate S1000D CSDB objects against BREX data modules
SYNOPSIS
s1kd-brexcheck [-b <brex>] [-d <dir>] [-I <path>] [-w <severities>]
[-X <version>] [-F|-f] [-BceLlNnopqrS[tu]sTvx^h?]
[<object>...]
DESCRIPTION
The s1kd-brexcheck tool validates S1000D CSDB objects using the con‐
text, SNS, and/or notation rules of one or multiple Business Rules EX‐
change (BREX) data modules. All errors are displayed with the <objec‐
tUse> message, the line number, and a representation of the invalid XML
tree.
OPTIONS
-B, --default-brex
Check each input object against the appropriate built-in S1000D
default BREX only. The actual BREX reference of each object is
ignored.
-b, --brex <brex>
Check the CSDB objects against this BREX. Multiple BREX data
modules can be specified by adding this option multiple times.
When no BREX data modules are specified, the BREX data module
referenced in <brexDmRef> in the CSDB object is attempted to be
used instead.
-c, --values
When a context rule defines values for an object (objectValue),
check if the value of each object is within the allowed set of
values.
-d, --dir <dir>
Directory to start searching for BREX data modules in. By de‐
fault, the current directory is used.
-e, --ignore-empty
Ignore check for empty or non-XML documents.
-F, --valid-filenames
Print the filenames of CSDB objects with no BREX/SNS errors.
-f, --filenames
Print the filenames of CSDB objects with BREX/SNS errors.
-h, -?, --help
Show the help/usage message.
-I, --include <path>
Add a search path for BREX data modules. By default, only the
current directory is searched.
-L, --list
Treat input as a list of object filenames to check, rather than
an object itself.
-l, --layered
Use the layered BREX concept. BREX data modules referenced by
other BREX data modules (either specified with -b or referenced
by the specified CSDB objects) will also be checked against.
-N, --omit-issue
Assume that the issue/inwork numbers are omitted from object
filenames (they were created with the -N option).
-n, --notations
Check notation rules. Any notation names listed in any of the
BREX data modules with attribute allowedNotationFlag set to "1"
or omitted are considered valid notations. If a notation in a
CSDB object is not present or has allowedNotationFlag set to
"0", an error will be returned.
For notations not included but not explicitly excluded, the ob‐
jectUse of the first inclusion rule will be returned with the
error. For explicitly excluded notations, the objectUse of the
explicit exclusion rule is returned.
-o, --output-valid
Output valid CSDB objects to stdout.
-p, --progress
Display a progress bar.
-q, --quiet
Quiet mode. No errors are printed, they are only indicated via
the exit status.
-r, --recursive
Search for BREX data modules recursively.
-S[tu], --sns [--strict|--unstrict]
Check Standard Numbering System (SNS) rules. The SNS of each
specified data module is checked against the combination of all
SNS rules of all specified BREX data modules.
-s, --short
Use shortened, single-line messages to report BREX errors in‐
stead of multiline indented messages.
-T, --summary
Print a summary of the check after it completes, including sta‐
tistics on the number of documents that passed/failed the check.
-v, --verbose
Verbose mode. The success or failure of each test is printed
explicitly.
-w, --severity-levels <file>
Specify a list of severity levels for business rules.
-X, --xpath-version <version>
Force the specified version of XPath to be used when evaluating
the object paths of BREX rules.
-x, --xml
Output an XML report.
-^, --remove-deleted
Check the CSDB objects with elements that have a change type of
"delete" removed.
--version
Show version information.
--zenity-progress
Print progress information in the zenity --progress format.
In addition, the following options allow configuration of the XML pars‐
er:
--dtdload
Load the external DTD.
--huge Remove any internal arbitrary parser limits.
--net Allow network access to load external DTD and entities.
--noent
Resolve entities.
--parser-errors
Emit errors from parser.
--parser-warnings
Emit warnings from parser.
--xinclude
Do XInclude processing.
--xml-catalog <file>
Use an XML catalog when resolving entities. Multiple catalogs
may be loaded by specifying this option multiple times.
Business rule severity levels (.brseveritylevels)
The attribute brSeverityLevel on a BREX rule allows for distinguishing
different kinds of errors. The .brseveritylevels file contains a list
of severity levels, their user-defined type, and optionally if they
should not be counted as true errors (causing the tool to return a
"failure" status) but merely warnings.
By default, the program will search the current directory and parent
directories for a file named .brseveritylevels, but any file can be
specified by using the -w option.
An example of the format of this file is given below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<brSeverityLevels>
<brSeverityLevel value="brsl01" fail="yes">Error</brSeverityLevel>
<brSeverityLevel value="brsl02" fail="no">Warning</brSeverityLevel>
</brSeverityLevels>
When the attribute fail has a value of "yes" (or is not included), BREX
errors pertaining to rules with the given severity level value will be
counted as errors. When it is "no", the errors are still displayed but
are not counted as errors in the exit status code of the tool.
Normal, strict and unstrict SNS check (-S, -St, -Su)
There are three modes for SNS checking: normal, strict, and unstrict.
The main difference between them is how they handle the optional levels
of an SNS description in the BREX.
-St enables strict SNS checking. By default, the normal SNS check (-S)
will assume optional elements snsSubSystem, snsSubSubSystem, and
snsAssy exist with an snsCode of "0" ("00" or "0000" for snsAssy) when
their parent element does not contain any of each. This provides a
shorthand, such that
<snsSystem>
<snsCode>00</snsCode>
<snsTitle>General</snsTitle>
</snsSystem>
is equivalent to
<snsSystem>
<snsCode>00</snsCode>
<snsTitle>General</snsTitle>
<snsSubSystem>
<snsCode>0</snsCode>
<snsTitle>General</snsTitle>
<snsSubSubSystem>
<snsCode>0</snsCode>
<snsTitle>General</snsTitle>
<snsAssy>
<snsCode>00</snsCode>
<snsTitle>General</snsTitle>
</snsAssy>
</snsSubSubSystem>
</snsSubSystem>
</snsSystem>
Using strict checking will disable this shorthand, and missing optional
elements will result in an error.
-Su enables unstrict SNS checking. The normal SNS check (-S) shorthand
mentioned above only allows SNS codes of "0" to be omitted from the SNS
rules. Using unstrict checking, any code used will not produce an er‐
ror when the relevant optional elements are omitted. This means that
given the following...
<snsSystem>
<snsCode>00</snsCode>
<snsTitle>General</snsTitle>
</snsSystem>
...SNS codes of 00-00-0000 through 00-ZZ-ZZZZ are considered valid.
Object value checking (-c)
There are two ways to restrict the allowable values of an object in a
BREX rule. One is to use the XPath expression itself. For example,
this expression will match any securityClassification attribute whose
value is neither "01" nor "02", and because the allowedObjectFlag is
"0", will generate a BREX error if any match is found:
<objectPath allowedObjectFlag="0">
//@securityClassification[
. != '01' and
. != '02'
]
</objectPath>
However, this method can lead to fairly complex expressions and re‐
quires a reversal of logic. The BREX schema provides an alternative
method using the element objectValue:
<structureObjectRule>
<objectPath allowedObjectFlag="2">
//@securityClassification
</objectPath>
<objectValue valueAllowed="01">Unclassified</objectValue>
<objectValue valueAllowed="02">Classified</objectValue>
</structureObjectRule>
Specifying the -c option will enable checking of these types of rules,
and if the value is not within the allowed set a BREX error will be re‐
ported. The valueForm attribute can be used to specify what kind of
notation the valueAllowed attribute will contain:
· "single" - A single, exact value.
· "range" - Values given in the S1000D range/set notation, e.g. "a~c"
or "a|b|c".
· "pattern" - A regular expression.
The s1kd-brexcheck tool supports all three types. If the valueForm at‐
tribute is omitted, it will assume the value is in the "single" nota‐
tion.
XPath support
By default, s1kd-brexcheck supports only XPath 1.0, with partial sup‐
port for EXSLT functions.
If experimental XPath 2.0 support is enabled at compile-time, s1kd-
brexcheck will automatically choose a version of XPath based on the
S1000D issue of the BREX data module:
3.0 and lower
XPath 1.0
4.0 and up
XPath 2.0
The -X (--xpath-version) option can be specified to force a particular
version of XPath to be used regardless of issue. Information on which
XPath versions are supported can be obtained from the --version option.
If the XPath given for the <objectPath> of a rule is invalid, the rule
will be ignored when validating objects. A warning will be printed to
stderr, and the XML report will contain an <xpathError> element for
each error.
EXIT STATUS
0 Check completed successfully, and no CSDB objects had BREX er‐
rors.
1 Check completed successfully, but some CSDB objects had BREX er‐
rors.
2 One or more CSDB objects specified could not be read.
3 A referenced BREX data module could not be found.
4 The XPath version specified is unsupported.
5 The number of paths or CSDB objects specified exceeded the
available memory.
