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