Domain Checks (CDM/LDM/PDM)

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

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.
Domain code maximum length	[PDM only] The domain code length is limited by the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition (MaxLen entry, in the Objects > Domain category) or in the naming conventions of the model options. Manual correction: Modify the domain code length to meet this requirement Automatic correction: Truncates the domain code length to the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition
Detect Inconsistencies between check parameters	The values entered in the Check Parameters tab 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. Manual correction: Modify default, minimum, maximum or list of values in the check parameters tab Automatic correction: None
Precision > maximum length	The data type precision should not be greater than the length. Manual correction: Make the data type length greater than the precision Automatic correction: None
Undefined data type	A model should not contain domains with undefined data type, all domains should have a defined data type. Manual correction: Select a data type from the domain property sheet Automatic correction: None
Invalid data type	[CDM/LDM only] Invalid data types for domains exist. To be complete, a model should have all its domain data types correctly defined. Manual correction: While tolerated, you must select valid data types for currently non-valid data types to generate the PDM. Automatic correction: None.
