Object Checks

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

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.
Isolated object	An object should not be isolated in the model. Manual correction: Create a relationship to or from the object. The relationship can be a message, an instance link, or a dependency or Link the object to an object node in the activity diagram Automatic correction: None Note: the Check Model feature takes the object into account and not the symbol of the object to perform this check; if the object is already associated with an instance link or an object node in your model, the Check Model feature will not return an error message.
