Making corrections based on PDM check results

Chapter 6 Working with PDMs

Making corrections based on PDM check results

You can use the Check Model to locate and correct problems in the PDM.

You can choose one of the following correction options from the Check toolbar:

Symbol	Option	Description
	Manual correction	Displays property sheet of problem object
	Display help	Displays description of the error and suggestion for correction
	Check again	Checks selected object parameter, normally after a correction has been done
	Automatic correction	Automatically corrects certain errors

Navigating in the error list

The Check tool bar also contains navigation tools that you can use to move to the first, previous, next, or last errors that are listed. You can also navigate in the list of errors by right-clicking an object parameter and selecting Go To First error, Previous error, Next error, or Last error from the contextual menu.

Right click menu
When you right click an object parameter, a menu appears listing the correction options Manual Correction, Help, Check again, and Automatic Correction. You can also select options to clear, dock and hide the result window.

Automatic correction

Automatic correction fixes the following types of errors and warnings:

Inappropriate foreign key columns
Non-unique names
Code too long for target database (if you select Database Constraints)
Inappropriate primary keys, foreign keys, and unique indexes
Divergence in domain values, check parameters, and validation rules for auto-migrated foreign keys
Divergence in auto-migrated foreign keys
Divergence in domain values, check parameters, and validation rules for an auto-migrated foreign key are only corrected if you have selected the corresponding auto-migrate options in Model options.

You must always correct other errors manually.
