Entity Checks (CDM/LDM)

Entity name and code uniqueness

Entity names and codes must be unique in the namespace.

Manual correction: Modify the duplicate name/code

Automatic correction: Appends a number to the duplicate name/code.

Entity name and code maximum length

The entity name and code length is limited to a maximum length of 254 characters specified in the naming conventions of the model options.

Manual correction: Modify the entity name/code length to meet this requirement.

Automatic correction: Truncates the entity name/code length to the maximum length specified in the naming conventions.

Existence of attributes

An entity must always contain at least one attribute.

Manual correction: Add an attribute to the entity or delete the entity.

Automatic correction: None.

Number of serial types > 1

An entity cannot have more than one serial type attribute. Serial types are automatically calculated values.

Manual correction: Change the types of the appropriate entity attributes to have only one serial type attribute.

Automatic correction: None.

Existence of identifiers

An entity must contain at least one identifier.

Manual correction: Add an identifier to the entity or delete the entity.

Automatic correction: None.

Existence of relationship or association link

An entity must have at least one relationship or association link.

Manual correction: Add a relationship or an association link to the entity or delete the entity.

Automatic correction: None.

Redundant inheritance

An entity inherits from another entity more than once. This is redundant and adds nothing to the model.

Manual correction: Delete redundant inheritances

Automatic correction: None.

Multiple inheritance

An entity has multiple inheritance. This is unusual but can be tolerated if you defined this check as a warning.

Manual correction: Make sure that the multiple inheritance is necessary in your model.

Automatic correction: None.

Parent of several inheritances

An entity is the parent of multiple inheritances. This is unusual but can be tolerated if you defined this check as a warning.

Manual correction: Verify if the multiple inheritances could not be merged.

Automatic correction: None.

Redefined primary identifier

Primary identifiers in child entities must be the same as those in their parents.

Manual correction: Delete those primary identifiers in the child entities that are not in the parent entity.

Automatic correction: None.
