Select the check boxes of the column/entity attribute properties that are not permitted to diverge from the domain definition. You can specify any or all of:
-
Data type - data type, length, and precision
-
Check - check parameters such as minimum and maximum values
-
Rules – business rules
-
Mandatory – mandatory property of the column
-
[PDM only] Profile - test data profile
If you subsequently modify in your domain any of the properties specified as non-divergent here, then the corresponding properties of the columns/entity attributes attached to that domain are automatically updated.
Column/entity attribute properties specified as non-divergent appear dimmed and are non-editable in the List of Columns/Entity attributes and Column/Entity attribute property sheets. If you want to modify a non-divergent column/entity attribute property, you must detach the column/entity attribute from its domain.
