1.4 Reports Data Schema

The data schemas for the Non-Clearing Report and Clearing Report in Global Transaction Reporting describe their structure and possible data values within those reports.

You can validate each transaction XML file you receive from Thredd against the provided Schema (XSD file). This ensures that the transaction file is in the correct format.

The data schemas for the Non-Clearing Report and Clearing Report are subject to change as the standard evolves. When Thredd updates either XSD report file, Thredd implements a new version and notifies you.
