The enterprise architecture model is a very flexible tool, which allows you quickly to develop your model without constraints. You can check the validity of your EAM at any time.
A valid EAM conforms to the following kinds of rules:
Each object name must be unique in a EAM
Each network in must be linked to another object
Each person must belong to an organization unit
Each software server must be deployed to a physical server
You can check your model in any of the following ways:
The Check Model Parameters dialog opens, allowing you to specify the kinds of checks to perform, and the objects to apply them to. The following sections document the EAM -specific checks available by default. For information about checks made on generic objects available in all model types and for detailed information about using the Check Model Parameters dialog, see Core Features Guide > The PowerDesigner Interface > Objects > Checking Models.
