Schema Strictness

Configuring Schema Strictness

Song's schema strictness determines whether analyses adhere strictly to the latest schema version or can use any version.

Song has two analysis validation modes: strict and non-strict:

• In strict mode, all submitted data must adhere to the latest version of the analysis schema. For example, if the newest version of the schema is 5, all analyses of type variant_calling must conform to version 5 of the variant_calling schema.

• In non-strict mode, submitted data can conform to any schema version. If users don't specify a version in their payload, the latest version of the schema is used for validation.

Environment Variable Setup

Add the following to your .env.song

bash

Copy

SCHEMAS_ENFORCELATEST=true

By setting SCHEMAS_ENFORCELATEST to true, the Song server will enforce that data conforms to the latest schema versions. Conversely, if set to false, data can be submitted under any schema version.
