respect to pattern (S][W]0-9](8) for type '#AnonType_SWCreatedByCreationinfo"."

Hi Nirmala,

The error you’re encountering is due to the value DIT-ONLINE not matching the expected pattern for the <SWCreatedBy> and <XMLCreatedBy> fields in the XML schema.


What the error means:

  • The schema expects these fields to follow a pattern:
    ([S][W]0-9]{8})
    This usually means the value should start with "SW" followed by 8 digits.

  • Your value DIT-ONLINE does not match this pattern, so the XML validation fails.


How to fix it:

  1. Replace the value of <SWCreatedBy> and <XMLCreatedBy> from DIT-ONLINE to a valid string matching the pattern, e.g.,
    SW12345678 (example with "SW" + 8 digits)

  2. If you’re using software to generate the XML, check if it’s generating these tags correctly. Usually, the software version or software ID should be in this format.

  3. Update your XML like this:

 
<CreationInfo> <SWVersionNo>1.0</SWVersionNo> <SWCreatedBy>SW12345678</SWCreatedBy> <XMLCreatedBy>SW12345678</XMLCreatedBy> <XMLCreationDate>2021-03-25</XMLCreationDate> <IntermediaryCity>Delhi</IntermediaryCity> </CreationInfo>

Additional tips:

  • If you are using a third-party tool, check their documentation for the correct way to fill these fields.

  • If you manually edit XML, ensure you comply exactly with the pattern.

  • Always validate the XML with the schema before uploading.
