Schema error

messageId missing, empty or longer than 70 characters

Symptom

Schema error on commonTechnical/0/messageId: 'must have required property' or 'must NOT have more than 70 characters'.

Cause

The sending application does not fill a unique message identification, or uses a composite key that exceeds the length. Since v1.2.0 the length of messageId equals that of originalMessageId (70).

Fix

Generate per message a unique, stable identification of at most 70 characters (for example message type, date and sequence number) and store it: feedback and corrections refer to it.
