Chapter 9 Working with Data Models


Group checks (PDM)

The following PDM model checks are made on groups:

Check Description and Correction
Group name and code uniqueness Group 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
Group code maximum length The group code length is limited by the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition (MaxLen entry, in the Objects→Group category) or in the naming conventions of the model options.

Manual correction: Modify the group code length to meet this requirement

Automatic correction: Truncates the group code length to the maximum length specified in the DBMS definition
Existence of user A group is created to factorize privilege and permission granting to users. A group without user members is useless.

Manual correction: Add users to group or delete group

Automatic correction: Deletes unassigned group
Group password empty Groups must have a password to be able to connect to the database (for those DBMS that support passwords for groups.)

Manual correction: Define a password for the group

Automatic correction: None
