Taxonomy Cache for XBRL Validation

You can put the EBA taxonomy files into a cache on the CDM Server installation folder to enhance XBRL validation. When there is a taxonomy update, you need to remake the caching operation of the taxonomy and replace the existing one on the CDM Server.

Save the EBA Taxonomy into Cache

You can save the EBA taxonomy into cache in CDM, which improves performance. Below is a specific example to save EBA taxonomy files into cache on the CDM Server.

  1. Download and save the latest version of the compressed taxonomy files from the EBA website to your own system and extract the contents.
  2. Save the taxonomy files into one folder called EBA taxonomy files. When you have all the necessary files, this folder includes the following folders:
    • www.eba.europa.eu
    • www.eurofiling.info
    • www.xbrl.org
  3. Copy the complete EBA taxonomy files folder to a known location on the CDM Server, for example: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CertentCDM-Server.
  4. Go to the CDM Server installation folder and open the Web.config file.
  5. Edit the Taxonomies path attribute to include the location of the folder you have saved:

    <Taxonomies path="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CertentCDM-Server\EBA taxonomy files" />

Update the EBA Taxonomy

When there is a taxonomy update from the EBA, you need to remake the caching operation of the taxonomy and replace the existing folders with the new ones on the CDM Server.
