Altova RaptorXML+XBRL Server 2026

--additional-dts-entry-point = FILE

Forces the specified entry-point file to be included in the DTS discovery process. Add the option multiple times to specify more than one entry point.

--calc11.rounding = round-to-nearest|truncate

Specifies the XBRL Calculations 1.1 rounding mode. Default is round-to-nearest.

--calculations-mode = only_10 | only_11 | 10_and_11 | force_11

Specifies the XBRL Calculations versions to use and to which relationships they are applied. This only has an effect if --summation-item-checks are not disabled. Default is 10_and_11.

--ct-restrict-mode = 1.0|1.1|default

Specifies how to check complex type restrictions. A value of 1.0 checks complex type restrictions as defined in the XSD 1.0 specification—even in XSD 1.1 validation mode. A value of 1.1 checks complex type restrictions as defined in the XSD 1.1 specification—even in XSD 1.0 validation mode. A value of default checks complex type restrictions as defined in the XSD specification of the current validation mode (1.0 or 1.1). The default value is default.

--deduplicate = true|false

Enables de-duplication according to the Handling Duplicate Facts in XBRL and Inline XBRL 1.0 specification. Removes facts that are (i) complete duplicates or (ii) consistent duplicates (by definition these are numeric facts; the most accurate of the duplicates is retained for processing). Inconsistent and multi-language duplicates are not affected by this option. Default value is true.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--dimensions = true|false

Enables XBRL Dimension 1.0 extensions. Default is true.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--dts = FILE

Preloads the DTS entry point given in FILE, and uses it for the validation of instance files. Add the option multiple times to specify more than one entry point. Entry points in instance files will be ignored. The command is used to batch validate multiple instance files that all refer to the same taxonomy. The --dts  option instructs the Raptor engine to load the DTS only a single time—and not for each instance in the file list. (A file list is given either on the CLI, or in a text file that is indicated as a file list by setting the --listfile option to true.) If an instance file in the file list references a different taxonomy, then a warning is issued. This command can greatly speed up validation time when validating many small instance files each that have a large supporting DTS; it provides no advantage when validating a single instance file.

--essence-alias-checks = true|false

Enables reporting of essence-alias inconsistencies. Default value is true.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--extensible-enumerations = true|false

If true, enables the XBRL Extensible Enumerations extension. Default is: true.

--generic-links = true|false

Enables the XBRL Generic Links 1.0 extension. Default value is true.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--generic-preferred-label = true|false

Enables the XBRL Generic Preferred Label 1.0 extension. Default value is true.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--inconsistencies-limit = N | unlimited

Specifies the XBRL inconsistencies limit, with values being in the range 1-65535 or unlimited. Processing continues if the limit is reached, but further inconsistencies are not reported. The default value is 100.

--preload-xbrl-schemas = true|false

Preloads schemas of the XBRL 2.1 specification. Default is true.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--report-duplicates = all|complete|consistent|inconsistent|inconsistent-numeric|inconsistent-non-numeric|multi-language

Enables the reporting of duplicate facts of the specified duplicate class. Add the option multiple times to specify more than one duplicate class. There is no default value. If no value is specified, then no check for duplicates is carried out.

--report-duplicates-severity = info|warning|inconsistency|error

Specifies whether the detected duplicate facts should be reported as errors or warnings. If they are reported as errors, then the XBRL validation of the instance will fail. The default is error.

--report-import-namespace-mismatch-as-warning = true|false

Downgrades namespace or target-namespace mismatch errors when importing schemas with xs:import from errors to warnings. The default value is false.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--requires-element-checks = true|false

Enables reporting of requires-element inconsistencies. The default value is true.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--schema-imports = load-by-schemalocation | load-preferring-schemalocation | load-by-namespace | load-combining-both | license-namespace-only

Specifies the behaviour of xs:import elements, each of which has an optional namespace attribute and an optional schemaLocation attribute: <import namespace="someNS" schemaLocation="someURL">. The option specifies whether to load a schema document or just license a namespace, and, if a schema document is to be loaded, which information should be used to find it. Default: load-preferring-schemalocation.

The behavior is as follows:

•load-by-schemalocation: The value of the schemaLocation attribute is used to locate the schema, taking account of catalog mappings. If the namespace attribute is present, the namespace is imported (licensed).

•load-preferring-schemalocation: If the schemaLocation attribute is present, it is used, taking account of catalog mappings. If no schemaLocation attribute is present, then the value of the namespace attribute is used via a catalog mapping. This is the default value.

•load-by-namespace: The value of the namespace attribute is used to locate the schema via a catalog mapping.

•load-combining-both: If either the namespace or schemaLocation attribute has a catalog mapping, then the mapping is used. If both have catalog mappings, then the value of the --schema-mapping option (XBRL option and XML/XSD option) decides which mapping is used. If no catalog mapping is present, the schemaLocation attribute is used.

•license-namespace-only: The namespace is imported. No schema document is imported.

--schema-mapping = prefer-schemalocation | prefer-namespace

If  schema location and  namespace are both used to find a  schema document, specifies which  of them should  be preferred during catalog lookup. (If either the --schemalocation-hints or the --schema-imports option has a value of load-combining-both, and if the namespace and URL parts involved both have catalog mappings, then the value of this option specifies which of the two mappings to use (namespace mapping or URL mapping; the prefer-schemalocation value refers to the URL mapping).) Default is prefer-schemalocation.

--schemalocation-hints = load-by-schemalocation | load-by-namespace | load-combining-both | ignore

Specifies the behavior of the xsi:schemaLocation and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes: Whether to load a schema document, and, if yes, which information should be used to find it. Default: load-by-schemalocation.

•The load-by-schemalocation value uses the URL of the schema location in the xsi:schemaLocation and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes in XML or XBRL instance documents. This is the default value.

•The load-by-namespace value takes the namespace part of xsi:schemaLocation and an empty string in the case of xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation and locates the schema via a catalog mapping.

•If load-combining-both is used and if either the namespace part or the URL part has a catalog mapping, then the catalog mapping is used. If both have catalog mappings, then the value of the --schema-mapping option (XBRL option and XML/XSD option) decides which mapping is used. If neither the namespace nor URL has a catalog mapping, the URL is used.

•If the option's value is ignore, then the xsi:schemaLocation and xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation attributes are both ignored.

--summation-item-checks = true|false

Enables reporting of summation-item inconsistencies. Use the --calculations-mode option to specify which version of XBRL Calculations check should be applied. The default value is true.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--taxonomy-package = FILE

Specifies the absolute path to an additional taxonomy package as described in the Taxonomy Package 1.0 and Taxonomy Packages 1.0 working drafts. The value of FILE gives the location of the taxonomy package. Add the option multiple times to specify more than one taxonomy package.

--taxonomy-packages-config-file = FILE

Specifies the path to the TaxonomyPackagesConfig.json file, which is used to load XBRL taxonomy packages. The file's convenience is that it serves as a catalog of taxonomy packages. The structure of the JSON file is as in the example listing below. The value of the uri key gives the location of the package. The active key (of a set of packages) switches on usage of those packages.

{"taxonomies":

{"EIOPA Solvency II XBRL Taxonomy 2.1.0":

  {"packages":[

    {"uri":"C:\\test\\XBRL\\EIOPA_SolvencyII_XBRL_Taxonomy_2.1.0.zip"},

    {"uri":"C:\\test\\XBRL\\AdditionalTestPkg.zip"}

    ],"active":true

  },"Test Taxonomy":

    {"packages":[{"uri":"C:\\test\\XBRL\\test.zip"}],"active":true

    }

}

}

--treat-custom-role-errors-as-warnings = true|false

Reports non-critical XBRL errors related to custom role/arcrole types (for example, missing roleRefs) as warnings. Default value is false.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--treat-inconsistencies-as-errors = true|false

Causes XBRL validation to fail if the file contains any inconsistency as defined by the XBRL 2.1 specification. Default value is false.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--treat-invalid-use-of-standard-role-as-warning = true|false

Specifies whether the invalid use of standard roles should be reported only as a warning. Default value is false.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--uri-transformation = none|make-absolute|make-relative|keep-relative

Specifies how URIs should written to the generated XBRL document.

•none: Copy URI verbatim to target document

•make-absolute: Make any relative URIs absolute by resolving against the in-scope base URI at the respective element in the input document. For example: if the input file is c:\test\inlinexbrl.xhtml, and it contains a relative reference to a schema, schemas\schema.xsd, then the relative reference would be resolved to: c:\test\schemas\schema.xsd. Note that xml:base attributes in the input document can change the base URI.

•make-relative: If possible, make any absolute and relative URIs relative to the output document (otherwise write the resolved absolute URI)

•keep-relative: If possible, make only the relative URIs relative to the output document (and copy any absolute URI)

--utr = true|false

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--xinclude = true|false

Enables XML Inclusions (XInclude) support. Default value is false. When false, XInclude's include elements are ignored.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--variableset-execution-timeout = VALUE

Applied when executing formulas (--formula-execution=true). Specifies the maximum time allowed for executing a single variable set (a formula or a value, or an existence or consistency assertion). The time is specified in minutes and must be a positive number. The default is 30min. If a particular variable set doesn’t finish execution before the timeout is reached, then it is aborted. An error message is displayed (and entered in the verbose log). Note, however, that the timeout check is carried out only after every variable set evaluation—and not during execution of individual XPath expressions. So, if a single XPath expression takes long to execute, the timeout limit might be crossed. Execution of a variable set is aborted only once a complete variable set evaluation has been executed.

--csv-table = VALUE

Specifies an optional CSV table that should be generated in xBRL-CSV output. Add this option multiple times to specify more than one CSV table. If nothing is specified, then all tables will be written.

--ignore-taxonomy = VALUE

Specifies a taxonomy that should not be referenced by a schema reference in the generated xBRL-XML report. Add this option multiple times to specify more than one taxonomy.

--oim-report-param = KEY:VALUE

Specifies the report parameters needed for the xBRL-CSV report. Use this option to specify parameters referenced from the existing metadata json. If referenced from the metadata, these parameters will be written to the CSV file specified by the parameterURL property in the existing metadata. Add the option multiple times to specify more than one report parameter.

--oim-xbrl-namespace = NAMESPACE

The default namespace used by RaptorXML+XBRL Server is https://xbrl.org/2021, which corresponds to the Open Information Model (OIM) 1.0 Recommendation of 13 October 2021. However, if you are processing OIM documents that were written to conform to a previous draft specification, then you must specify the corresponding OIM namespace to avoid errors. You can use the --oim-xbrl-namespace option to specify that namespace. If you do not know the specification that is used in the OIM document, then use the value ##detect to auto-detect the document's specification and apply the appropriate namespace. Note that, even if a previous specification is referenced in the OIM doc, processing is still performed according to the OIM 1.0 Recommendation.

--use-existing-csv-metadata = true|false

Specifies whether to use the existing CSV metadata file. The default value is false.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

Specifies the information message limit in the range 1-65535 or unlimited. Processing continues if the specified info limit is reached, but further messages are not reported. The default value is 100.

--help

Displays help text for the command. For example, valany --h. (Alternatively the help command can be used with an argument. For example: help valany.)

--job-timeout = SECONDS

Defines a timeout for the job in seconds. If the specified time expires, the job will be canceled. The default value of 0 means that there will be no timeout.

--listfile = true|false

If true, treats the command's InputFile argument as a text file containing one filename per line. Default value is false. (An alternative is to list the files on the CLI with a space as separator. Note, however, that CLIs have a maximum-character limitation.) Note that the --listfile option applies only to arguments, and not to options.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--log-output = FILE

Writes the log output to the specified file URL. Ensure that the CLI has write permission to the output location.

--network-timeout = VALUE

Specifies the timeout in milliseconds for remote I/O operations. Default is: 40000.

--recurse = true|false

Used to select files within sub-directories, including in ZIP archives. If true, the command's InputFile argument will select the specified file also in subdirectories. For example: "test.zip|zip\test.xml" will select files named test.xml at all folder levels of the zip folder. References to ZIP files must be given in quotes. The wildcard characters * and ? may be used. So, *.xml will select all .xml files in the (zip) folder. The option's default value is false.

Note:   Boolean option values are set to true if the option is specified without a value.

--verbose = true|false

A value of true enables output of additional information during validation. Default value is false.
