PowerDesigner provides default model checks to verify the validity of entity attributes.
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.
|
Name/Code contains synonyms of glossary terms |
[if glossary enabled] Names and codes must not contain synonyms of glossary terms.
|
Name/Code uniqueness |
Object names must be unique in the namespace.
|
Detect differences between attribute and associated domain |
[LDM only] There is a divergence between attributes and associated domains. This can be tolerated if you defined this check as a warning.
|
Detect inconsistencies between check parameters |
[LDM only] The values entered in the Check Parameters page are inconsistent for numeric and string data types. Default does not respect minimum and maximum values, or default does not belong to list of values, or values in list are not included in minimum and maximum values, or minimum is greater than maximum value. Check parameters must be defined consistently.
|
Precision > maximum length |
[LDM only] The data type precision should not be greater than or equal to the length.
|
Undefined data type |
[LDM only] Undefined data types for attributes exist. To be complete, a model should have all its attributes data types defined.
|
Invalid data type |
[LDM only] Invalid data types for attributes exist. To be complete, a model should have all its data types for attributes correctly defined.
