seev.040.002.12

Q: How do I validate a seev.040 message?

Run askiso validate message.xml . The schema is found from the document's own namespace, so you do not name it. Validation needs that schema installed. To check the business rules without one, run askiso lint instead.

What seev.040.002.12 is

seev.040.002.12 is an ISO 20022 message definition. Its business area is Securities Events (seev), and seev.040 is the definition it versions.

AskISO does not copy the specification. The Registration Authority publishes the message definition report and the schema, free of charge. The links below go straight there.

This is the newest published version of seev.040, out of 19 in total. Older versions remain valid, and plenty of institutions still send them, so receiving one is normal rather than a problem.
