Lifecycle and Lifecycle Phase Checks (PDM)

The following PDM model checks are made on lifecycles and phases:

Check Description and Correction

Name and code uniqueness

Lifecycle and phase 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

Existence of phases

[lifecycle] A lifecycle must contain phases.

Manual correction: Add phases to the lifecycle (on the Phases tab)

Automatic correction: None

Incorrect total retention setting

[lifecycle] The total retention for the lifecycle must equal the retentions of all the phases.

Manual correction: Adjust the total retention or the retentions of individual phases as appropriate.

Automatic correction: Adjust the total retention to equal the retentions of all the phases.

Invalid partition range setting

[lifecycle] The partition range must be no longer than the shortest phase retention.

Manual correction: Reduce the partition range so that it is equal to the shortest phase retention.

Automatic correction: Reduces the partition range so that it is equal to the shortest phase retention.

Existence of tablespace

[phase] Specified tablespace does not exist.

Manual correction: Specify another tablespace.

Automatic correction: None

Invalid tablespace setting

[phase] The tablespace cannot be a catalog store.

Manual correction: Deselect the catalog store property on the tablespace property sheet.

Automatic correction: Deselects the catalog store property.

Phase tablespace uniqueness

[phase] Each phase must be associated with a different tablespace.

Manual correction: Move one or more phases to another tablespace.

Automatic correction: None

Consistency of tablespace cost currency setting

[phase] The same currency must be used for all tablespaces.

Manual correction: Harmonize the currency settings.

Automatic correction: Applies the currency specified in the model options to all tablespaces.
