attribute is provided. 6.17.180 Ensure that 'append' operation is not applied on an existing lifecycle 'append' leaf (E.g. Detect invalid life cycle pattern: sequence 0001 appends a document in sequence 0000, sequence 0002 append operation leads to the append in 0001.) 6.17.199 Ensure that all element in the submission backbone xml files must have leaf child nodes 6.17.204 Ensure that the sequence being validated is the highest sequence in the application 6.17.217 Ensure that the reference for the regional xml backbone file in index.xml must have operation attribute value 'new' 6.17.219 Ensure that 'm1' folder must exist in the submission. 6.17.220 Ensure that only one dataset of each type (filename configured) referenced in an STF is marked as 'new' operation.
