3.4.1 Analyzing to check compliance with naming standards
After you set the naming standards, you should check to see what data objects are in
compliance with the naming standards and glossary model items that you have specified.
Use the Analyze Model wizard to specify what rules to check for, and then use the
Problems view to seek out and correct any data objects that do not comply with your
naming standards.
To analyze the logical data model:
1. Locate the STUDENT INFO SYSTEM package in the logical data model:
University Info System -> Data Models -> STUDENT_INFO_SYSTEM.ldm ->
STUDENT INFO SYSTEM.
2. Right-click on the package and select Analyze Model. The Analyze Model wizard
opens.
Since we are analyzing a logical data model, every rule under the Logical Data Model rule
category is selected.
3. Deselect the check box next to the Logical Data Model rule category, then select
the Naming Standard rule. Selecting this rule allows you to narrow the model
analysis to make sure that data objects are in compliance with the naming
standard rules only. This narrows the amount of errors or warnings you see in the
Problems view.
4. Click Finish to analyze the model.
