What this validates
The validator checks your file against the Boarding File Upload XSD schema (V26.1), including:- Root element structure and namespace declarations
- Acquirer ID format (1-999)
- Merchant operation types and element order (
createMerchant,reactivateMerchant,updateMerchant,deleteMerchant) - Required fields: merchant name, originator tag, file group ID, base currency, rate margin group name
- Element sequence order within each merchant
- Attribute constraints (field lengths, enumerations, numeric ranges)
This validator catches structural errors that would cause file-level rejection. Data errors (such as an unrecognized file group ID or duplicate originator tag) are only detected during server-side processing and appear in the response file.
