"Answer key" files for content validation in local deploy

[Ben Warfield]

This topic has been raised a couple times recently but mostly as a footnote to other threads, so I wanted to give it a top-level thread in hopes that people who are now no longer furloughed or on stop-work will be able to respond to it. :-)

When setting up the C-CDA reference validator locally, the instructions explain how to configure the server to look for scenario files, but nothing is actually said about where the scenario files themselves can be obtained. Back in early October, I tried to find them without success (https://groups.google.com/g/edge-test-tool/c/is-hzu38f3k/m/jbeI4hKeBAAJ), as did Mat Davis, who documented the attempt a bit more thoroughly than I did (https://groups.google.com/g/edge-test-tool/c/gYLJ5yv62Kc/m/LqUfAvVQAQAJ).

These seem like they are a critical part of the reference implementation, so I would assume that they are intended to be available publicly, but they do not seem to be: can anybody say where/how to find them, or explain why we are wrong to think that they exist and can be found?

Thanks!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Given the possibility (however remote) of another government shutdown three weeks from now, this topic is of renewed interest—is anybody able to comment on where and how we might obtain the scenario files required to do on-site C-CDA scenario validation?
