Synonym Checks (PDM)

The following PDM model checks are made on synonyms:

Check	Description and Correction
Synonym name and code uniqueness	Synonym names and codes must be unique in the model. Manual correction: Modify the duplicate name/code Automatic correction: Appends a number to the duplicate name/code
Synonym name and code maximum length	The synonym name and code length is limited by the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition (MaxLen entry, in the Objects > Synonym category) and in the naming conventions of the model options. Manual correction: Modify the name/code length to meet this requirement Automatic correction: Truncates the name/code length to the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition
Existence of the base object	A synonym must correspond to a model object. By default, when you create synonyms from the List of Synonyms using the Add a Row tool, they are not attached to any base object. Manual correction: Select a base object from the synonym property sheet Automatic correction: Deletes the synonym
