Charting scheme validation

Schema Designer validates charting schemes when you create them, while you edit them, and when you load the schema to which they belong. If a charting scheme is modified outside the application, opening its parent schema provides a way to check its validity.

When you open a charting scheme in Schema Designer, the following validation checks occur:

• Whether the charting scheme's underlying XML is well-formed and valid.

• Whether the entity types and link types in the charting scheme match the type definitions in the schema. If some types don't match, Schema Designer displays an error log and prevents the charting scheme from opening until the errors are corrected.

• Whether the logical types of property types that the charting scheme relies on match the logical types that are specified in the schema. If some types don't match, then Schema Designer again displays an error log and prevents the charting schema from opening.
