IAM custom checks

PowerDesigner does not provide any predefined checks for the data testing of an IAM. However, you can create custom checks in an extended model definition.

For more information about how to create custom checks, see "Defining the script of a custom check" in the Extending your Models with Profiles chapter in the Customizing and Extending PowerDesigner manual.

You can check an IAM in any of the following ways:

• Press F4, or
• Select Tools→Check Model, or
• Right-click the diagram background and select Check Model from the contextual menu

The Check Model Parameters window opens, which allows you to specify the kinds of checks to perform, and the objects to apply them to. For detailed information about this window and correcting problems reported, see "Checking a Model" in the Models chapter.
