LwM2M Validation Error Codes

Validation Error Code

This tool allows the validation of an Object that is publicly reachable by the tool: https://testdevtoolkit.openmobilealliance.org/OEditor/Legal?back=Default

  • The error codes relevant to single Object Validation are from (403 to 499).
  • In addition, the user needs to validate by hand the criteria provided by error codes (400 to 402). The information in the OMNA LwM2M Registry is contained in two files:
  • DDF.xml: this file contains all the Object information that is displayed in the OMA LwM2M registry (with the exception of the Reusable Resources that are contained in the "Common.xml" file.
  • Common.xml: this file contains the Reusable Resources information that is displayed in the OMA LwM2M registry.
