Diagnosis

Characteristic specifies which authorization is required to enter a signature. You may only use this characteristic in process data requests and only at the following positions:

  • In data requests in which a message is requested with a signature (characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE), directly after the input value for the signature
  • In data requests with input validations, directly after characteristic PPPI_ACCEPT_INVALID_INPUT, provided that it allows invalid input values With signature only

However, in this process instruction none of the above characteristics has been assigned before characteristic .

System Response

Procedure

In data requests that request a message with a signature

  • If characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE has not been assigned to the process instruction, insert it as an input value before characteristic .

    For more detailed information on how to define input values, see Extended Help.

  • If characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE is assigned to the process instruction, move characteristic to the position immediately after it.

    To do so, change the sort number of the characteristics.

In data requests with input validation

  • If a signature is required to accept invalid input values:
    • Make sure that characteristic PPPI_ACCEPT_INVALID_INPUT and its value With signature only is assigned after the validation rule (PPPI_VALIDATION_FORMULA) or the warning (PPP_TEXT_FOR_INVALID_INPUT).
    • Move characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE_AUTHORIZATION to the position after characteristic PPPI_ACCEPT_INVALID_INPUT.
  • If a signature is not required to accept invalid input values, delete characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE_AUTHORIZATION from the process instruction.

In all other process instructions

Delete characteristic PPPI_SIGNATURE_AUTHORIZATION from the process instruction.
