PowerDesigner provides default model checks to verify the validity of operations.

Check

Description and Correction

[if glossary enabled] Names and codes must contain only approved terms drawn from the glossary.
  • Manual correction - Modify the name or code to contain only glossary terms.
  • Automatic correction - None.

Name/Code contains synonyms of glossary terms

[if glossary enabled] Names and codes must not contain synonyms of glossary terms.
  • Manual correction - Modify the name or code to contain only glossary terms.
  • Automatic correction - Replaces synonyms with their associated glossary terms.

Name/Code uniqueness

Object names must be unique in the namespace.
  • Manual correction - Modify the duplicate name or code.
  • Automatic correction - Appends a number to the duplicate name or code.

Input or output message missing

Depending on the type of the operation, input and/or output messages are required. A Notification operation requires an output message, a One-Way operation requires an input message, and a Request-Response or a Solicit Response operation requires bot input and output messages.

  • Manual correction: Change the operation type to be coherent with the message definition or define the missing message

  • Automatic correction: Updates the operation type to be coherent with the current message definition, except when both input and output messages are missing
