Synchronization Checks

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

Check	Description and Correction
Name/Code contains terms not in glossary	[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.
Incomplete synchronization	A synchronization represents a fork when a unique flow is split into several output flows executed in parallel, or it represents a join when several input flows are joined and they wait until all flows reach the join before continuing as a unique output flow. That is why a synchronization must have more than one input flow, or more than one output flow. Manual correction: Add any missing flows to the synchronization Automatic correction: None
