Redfish-Service-Validator didn't verify oem uri with oem schema

[rick0118]

Hi all,

I am a newbie in Redfish. I have an OEM Redfish service, and I tried to write an OEM CSDL schema to verify it. However, the service validator did not show the OEM verification report in the HTML output. Even in the OEM property, it returns a "complex" result.

Here is my workflow:

I wrote the annotated JSON for Redfish-Schema-Creator based on the Redfish service response JSON.
I used the odata-csdl-validator to verify it and then added it to the BMC web Redfish-core/schema.
I was able to see the OEM schema at /redfish/v1/$metadata.
Additionally, I added an OEM URI to the service root:

"Oem": {
    "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Oem/rick"
}

Here is my OEM service response JSON. I know @odata.type means the verify CSDL XML namespace version:

{
    "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Oem/rick",
    "@odata.type": "#rickCollection.v1_0_0.rickCollection",
    "Employee": "rick",
    "Members": [
        {
            "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Oem/rick/Virtual_Temp"
        }
    ],
    "Members@odata.count": 1,
    "Work_ID": 123
}

OEM CSDL name: rickCollection_v1.xml

After that, I ran the Redfish-Service-Validator, but the Redfish Conformance Test Report did not include my OEM Redfish service. However, it did perform the JSON schema validation tests.

*** /redfish/v1/JsonSchemas/rickCollection
INFO -     Type (JsonSchemaFile.v1_0_2.JsonSchemaFile), GET SUCCESS (time: 0:00:00.316447)
INFO -     PASS

Can someone help me understand what might be going wrong?

[mraineri]

So the Oem property is defined to be a structured object. You won't be able to stick a URI in directly like that. The validator (and other tools) are expecting the Oem property to be constructed like this:

{
    "Oem": {
        "CompanyIdentifier": {
            // OEM properties
        }
    }
}

For your usage, you'll need to define the contents of the inner object. I suppose it'll look something like this:

{
    "Oem": {
        "CompanyIdentifier": {
            "@odata.type": "#RickServiceRoot.v1_0_0.RickServiceRoot",
            "RickLink": {
                "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Oem/rick
            }
        }
    }
}

To make the schema file for "#RickServiceRoot.v1_0_0.RickServiceRoot", you can use this example as a template: https://github.com/DMTF/Redfish-Publications/blob/main/mockups/public-oem-examples/Contoso.com/ContosoServiceRoot_v1.xml

[rick0118]

Thank you! That definitely clears things up.

I referred to the URL you provided and some forum articles:

ContosoServiceRoot.json
ContosoServiceRoot_v1.xml

relative redfishforum with same warning

I get the warning about
Couldn't get schema for object (?), skipping OemObject RichCompany : 'RichCompanyServiceRoot'

To clarify further, I added an OEM object, RichCompanyServiceRoot, to the Redfish v1 service root. The OEM service root extends the original service root:

.
.
.
"Name": "Root Service",
    "Oem": {
        "RichCompany": {
            "@odata.type": "#RichCompanyServiceRoot.v1_0_0.RichCompanyServiceRoot",
            "RickLink": {
                "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Oem/rick"
            }
        }
    }
.
.
.

Below is my RichCompanyServiceRoot_v1.xml. I expect it to successfully parse my OEM object and add @odata.id to the path that needs to be verified, but I encountered issues and need your generous help.

First, define the necessary XML as references:

I also tested other methods, but the results were similar:

<EntityContainer Name="ServiceContainer" Extends="RichCompanyServiceRoot.v1_0_0.ServiceContainer">
<ComplexType Name="ServiceRoot" BaseType="RichCompanyServiceRoot.v1_0_0.ServiceRoot">

I get the warning below.
Expecting your reply and thank you very much.

Additionally, I noticed that my collectionlimit setting for LogEntry 10 is not being properly enforced. The tool continues to validate even when the limit is exceeded. I have confirmed that I have upgraded to the latest version 2.4.8 of the tool.

Please file a separate issue for this. I'd likely lose track of this otherwise.

Below is my RichCompanyServiceRoot_v1.xml.

On first review, the syntax for this looks good to me. The EntityContainer portion isn't very relevant. There are some technicalities where it might be needed in a pure OData environment, but for the purposes of making a Redfish extension and having the Redfish tools work, it's not necessary. The service validator won't inspect EntityContainer.

I get the warning below. (Couldn't get schema for object (?), skipping OemObject RichCompany : 'RichCompanyServiceRoot')

Can you check the contents of the "SchemaFiles/metadata" directory to see if RichCompanyServiceRoot_v1.xml was downloaded and cached? Depending on the starting state, the tool might not download schema files.

Can you also run with --debugging and provide the txt file that's generated in the logs directory?

[rick0118]

first, Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to this question.

In the log, I see that it has downloaded RichCompanyServiceRoot from /redfish/v1/schema/RichCompanyServiceRoot_v1.xml, but a warning appears as follows:

WARNING - Couldn't get schema for object (?), skipping OemObject RichCompany : 'RichCompanyServiceRoot'

Additionally, I just added the following to ServiceRoot_v1.xml, also I know we have oem property format from Resource_v1.xml
but it still cannot successfully recognize my OEM schema:

<edmx:Reference Uri="http://127.0.0.1/RichCompanyServiceRoot_v1.xml">
    <edmx:Include Namespace="RichCompanyServiceRoot.v1_0_0"/>
  </edmx:Reference>

my screenshot on report

my oem object format, I think that is meet redfish spec

"Oem": {
        "RichCompany": {
            "@odata.type": "#RichCompanyServiceRoot.v1_0_0.RichCompanyServiceRoot",
            "RickLink": {
