Yes. In version 10 anyway - I don't recall if it was there on version 9. Update the "require_dep_ssn" to "true" in the emss_config.xml.

what about the 2nd tab on that same screen (named "Address") is there a way to hide that entire tab? (as we do not use it)

Nothing in the configuration file to handle that. You would have to customize the page.

i changed the following line:
<!-- Require Social Number when updating dependent? -->
setting id="require_dep_ssn" value="false"

to :
<!-- Require Social Number when updating dependent? -->
setting id="require_dep_ssn" value="true"

however, it does not seem to work on "adding" a dependent. would this be different?

Did you restart WebSphere?

I guess, WebSphere restart is not required, If changes should reflect an ios-cache refresh should be enough.

You need to code something similar to below for html file, where the field has been declared OR you can add a piece of JavaScript code for field validation.

 

ID: <\input type="text" name="ID" required\>

 

Ignore "\"


Rgds,

i did 'clear ios cache'
as far as the htm file or the js file, which file is it?

i think i need to possibly re-compile it.

I worked on ESS/MSS couple of years back...... You need to do it on LID under your $WEBDIR where the exact file is present.


Thank You !
