Package Checks

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

Check	Description and Correction
Circular inheritance	Objects cannot be dependent on each other. Circular links must be removed. Manual correction: Remove circular generalization links Automatic correction: None
Circular dependency	Classes are dependent on each other through association class and/or generalization links. Circular links must be removed. Manual correction: Remove circular links Automatic correction: None
Shortcut code uniqueness	Two shortcuts with the same code cannot be in the same namespace. Manual correction: Change the code of one of the shortcuts Automatic correction: None
Shortcut potentially generated as child table of a reference	The package should not contain associations with an external shortcut as child class. Although this can be tolerated in the OOM, the association will not be generated in a PDM if the external shortcut is generated as a shortcut. Manual correction: Modify the design of your model in order to create the association in the package where the child class is defined Automatic correction: None
