Hi Certara/P21 Support,

We are using Pinnacle 21 Community to generate a Define-XML 2.1 file for an SDTM study configured as SDTM-IG 3.3.

The generated Define-XML is identified as SDTM-IG 3.3 in the ODM/FileOID and MetaDataVersion OID, for example:

`FileOID="...SDTM-IG.3.3"`

and:

`def:DefineVersion="2.1.0"`

However, in the generated `<def:Standards>` section, P21 only creates the controlled terminology standard:

`<def:Standard OID="STD.SDTM 2023-03-31" Name="CDISC/NCI" Type="CT" Version="2023-03-31" PublishingSet="SDTM" Status="FINAL"/>`

It does not generate the expected implementation guide standard:

`<def:Standard OID="STD.SDTMIG.3.3" Name="SDTMIG" Type="IG" Version="3.3" Status="FINAL"/>`

As a result, when validating the Define-XML in P21 Validator, we get:

`DD0150 - Missing expected Standard`

We tried adding a new `Standards` tab to the P21 Excel specification, but the generator appears to ignore that tab and still outputs only the CT standard.

Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue or limitation in the P21 Define.xml Generator/specification template, and advise how to make the generator include the SDTMIG 3.3 `def:Standard` entry automatically?

Thanks,  
José

Hi José,

To get the SDTMIG 3.3 entry in your def:Standards section, you need to populate the “Standard” column (column G) on the Datasets tab of the Excel spec with SDTMIG 3.3 for each dataset.

One important note: make sure there is no hyphen (-), use SDTMIG 3.3, instead of SDTM-IG 3.3.  
Once that’s in place, the generator will include the expected \<def:Standard Type=“IG”\> entry and DD0150 should no longer fire. Let us know if that helps!

Kind regards,  
Lili
