      elementprefixunbound

      Notice! This page describes the nature of the error using a hypothetical example and not the erroneous data of the input test file. You should however be able to apply this information to your error case.

      General description of the error:

      The format of the error message: ElementPrefixUnbound : The prefix "" for element "" is not bound.

      Error description in schema standard: https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/

      Possible causes for this error:

      • File with country specific namespace validated against pipe not expecting that namespace
      • Namespace prefix is defined within element, even though it is not expected (not bound to a namespace). For example:

      <xs:OrgId>
        <xs:Othr>  

      Error message: Fatal Error ElementPrefixUnbound : The prefix "xs" for element "xs:OrgId" is not bound. 

      How to fix:

      • removing xs:

       <OrgId>
        <Othr> 

       

      • Or by adding / fixing namespace declaration.
