Verify Consistency of Model

To verify that the data model is consistent and does not violate any of the rules that govern source generation, use the Consistency Check Report to identify any error-level inconsistencies.

A consistent model is necessary to ensure successful database generation and the TD is the main source of information for database generation. Before CSE Construction can successfully generate the DDL, the model's TD must be complete and consistent. In the Database Design tool, you have the opportunity to make manual adjustments to the transformed TD using the Data Structure List and Data Store List. For example, you might add another entry point or change a table name. If you make changes, run another consistency check, because generation fails if any components are inconsistent.

If only a portion of the database definition is to be generated (for example, a table and its indexes), the portion of the DM and TD that describe the objects to be defined must be complete and consistent.
