2.2. Errata: Identified database errors not addressed
No. Table
All optional tables and
some mandatory tables
1.
Issue
Workaround
Optional schema elements still have mandatory items under
them. In the database mandatory fields within optional tables
have not been marked with an asterisk. Some mandatory tables
have also not had their mandatory elements properly marked.
Use schema to
identify
mandatory
elements within
a table.
Validation tool
will flag any
missing
mandatory
fields.
Even though this issue was identified in the test period, the size
of the change and knock-on affect to other tools and to Member
State implementation means that the issue has not been fixed.
