The ExternalRuleType complex type is the type definition for the ExternalRule element. The ExternalRule element provides the annotation that is used to report rule violations coming from uninterpreted models.

<xs:complexType name="ExternalRuleType">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element
            ref="Annotation"
         />
    </xs:sequence>
    <xs:attribute name="Operation"
        type="RuleOperatorType"
     />
    <xs:attribute name="OperandA"
        type="NonEmptyStringType"
     />
    <xs:attribute name="OperandB"
        type="string"
     />
    <xs:attribute name="Severity"
        type="RuleSeverityType"
     />
    <xs:attribute name="ExternalRuleName"
        type="NCName"
     />
    <xs:attribute name="LogicalName"
        type="LogicalName"
        use="required"
     />
</xs:complexType>

Attributes

Name	Type	Description
ExternalRuleName	NCName	The ID of the Schematron assert/report in the uninterpreted configuration item that the ExternalRule is referencing. The ExternalRuleName attribute is used to associate violations coming from an uninterpreted configuration item to the annotations provided by the parent ExternalRule element. This attribute is optional because the ID attribute in a Schematron assert/report is optional.
LogicalName	LogicalName	A unique name that is used to identify the file part in the document.
OperandA	NonEmptyStringType	The first operand that is used by the constraint expression.
OperandB	String	The second operand that is used by the constraint expression. Valid only for the “Between” operator.
Operation	RuleOperatorType	The operator that is used by the constraint expression.
Severity	RuleSeverityType	The severity condition that is associated with a failure of this constraint.
