Cascading Updates to Columns or Attributes Associated with the Domain

When you modify data types associated with a domain, an update confirmation box is displayed asking if you want to modify the columns or entity attributes currently using the domain.

1. Open the property sheet of a domain and edit its properties as required.
2. Click OK.

   If the domain is used by one or more columns or entity attributes, an update confirmation box is displayed asking if you want to modify domain properties for those objects using the domain.

   
   
   

   The Data Type check box is selected or not according to the options set to enforce non-divergence from a domain (see Enforcing Non-Divergence from a Domain).

3. Select any other properties that you want to update for all columns or entity attributes using the domain.
4. Click one of the following buttons:

   • Yes - The columns/entity attributes currently using the domain are modified according to the update

   • No - The columns/entity attributes currently using the domain are not modified according to the update but the current modification is accepted if domain divergence is allowed in the model options (see Enforcing Non-Divergence from a Domain).

   • Cancel - The update is cancelled and nothing is changed
