ParametersToCheck is special field in response messages except Status and is used by the Amlib SIP2 Server to perform validation and depending on the result, set field values in the response message or stop processes such as Checkout

The ParametersToCheck field for a message contains values which are parameters that have been defined for the instance. The evaluation of the Source and Target value for the parameters return a true or false result. All parameter results are combined using Boolean And to produce an overall true or false result.

If the overall result is false then the process such as Checkout will not proceed or the patron status will be set to invalid in response to a patron information request.

Parameter Source and Target values can be modified or removed from or added to the ParametersToCheck field to alter the validation rules for the Instance Response message.
