Class Part Checks

PowerDesigner provides default model checks to verify the validity of class parts.

Check	Description and Correction
Class part name and code uniqueness	Class part names and codes must be unique in the namespace (model or package). Manual correction: Modify the duplicate name/code Automatic correction: Appends a number to the duplicate name/code
Class part classifier type	A class part must have a data type that is a classifier linked to its owner classifier by an association. Manual correction: Specify a data type for the part and connect the relevant classifier to its owner classifier. Automatic correction: None
Class part association type	The composition property of a part must match the type of the association between its owner and its data type. Manual correction: Enable or disable the Composition property. Automatic correction: The Composition property is enabled or disabled.
