Changing Schema Characteristics

Schema characteristics include:

• Description
• Memo date
• Assignment rules for record IDs
• Security specifications
• User-defined information (class/attribute and user-defined comments)

What components are affected

When you modify characteristics of a schema, only the schema definition is affected. These characteristics do not impact critical definitions within the schema or its subschemas, so a VALIDATE statement is not required.
