Output validation error!!

I tried to reproduce this error, I created testSchemaDefault and added three elements A, B, C. I mapped A, gave B a default value, and tried mapping and not mapping C.

I tried MinOccurs of 0 and 1 on B, and could not get your error.

When I tried to not map C, I get this error which is entirely different from your error:

Output validation error: The element ‘http://TestSchemaDefaultValue.TestSchemaDefaultVal:TestSchemaDefaultVal’ has incomplete content. Expected ‘C’. An error occurred at file:///C:/DOCUME~1/nwalters/LOCALS~1/Temp/_MapData/Map1_output.xml, (1, 118).

Of course, you can turn off output validation, but that is not necessarily wise (right click map, then properties, \”Validate TestMap Output\” = False.).

Also, what are you mapping in? Are you using a real XML document or are you letting Biztalk Generate a dummy one for you. I noticed that if I let Biztalk generate the dummy data, he uses the default in the schema for the incoming value. Hopefully you are using a real file in the map-properties \”TestMap Input Instance\”?

What other properties are set for your BOKDFAT element?

I tried this input:
<ns0:TestSchemaDefaultVal xmlns:ns0=\”http://TestSchemaDefaultValue.TestSchemaDefaultVal\”>
<A>1</A>
<B>2</B>
<C>3</C>
</ns0:TestSchemaDefaultVal>

and got this output:
<ns0:TestSchemaDefaultVal xmlns:ns0=\”http://TestSchemaDefaultValue.TestSchemaDefaultVal\”>
<A>1</A>
<B>B-Default</B>
<C>3</C>
</ns0:TestSchemaDefaultVal>

mapping A to A and C to C and no mapping for B.

So it looks like it should work. Maybe you can create a simple example?

Sorry, that’s all I can figure out for now.
