Special Equivalency Rules

Special Equivalency Rules establish equivalence between aggregate objects that exist in different models and are meant to be equivalent but do not share common ancestry.

Occurrences Aggregate Objects

Equivalent When

ACTION BLOCK (BAA)

Are associated to the same elementary process

BATCH JOB

Implement the same procedure

BATCH JOB STEP

Implement the same procedure step and belong to the same batch job

BUSINESS SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

Are associated to the same business system

CONSTRAINT

Implement the same relationship and have the same source and target tables

DATA COLUMN

Implement the same attribute

DATA TABLE

Implement the same entity type

DEFAULT DIALOG

Are primary for the same procedure step

A dialog can be equivalent to a primary window if each is primary for the pstep.

DENORMALIZED COLUMN

Implement the same attribute and are denormalized along the same relationship

DFLT PRIMARY WINDOW

Are both primary for the same procedure step

A primary window can be equivalent to a dialog if each is primary for the pstep.

DIALECT

Are both the default dialect for the model

FOREIGN KEY COLUMN

Are associated to the same parent table, same source column and same constraint

FUNCTION

Are both the root function for the model

INDEX

One of the following:

Are associated to the same identifier and neither index implements a relationship

Are associated to the same identifier and implement the same relationship

Implement the same relationship and neither index is associated to an identifier

LINK TABLE

Implement the same relationship

ORGANIZATIONAL UNIT

Are both the root organizational unit for the model

PKG FOR PSTEP

Are associated to the same procedure step and the same type of load module

SCREEN

Are associated to the same procedure step

SCROLL AMOUNT VALUE
