Checking for Consistency

EOModeler provides consistency checking to confirm that your model is valid. For example, a model that has entities without primary keys or relationships without join components is not valid.

You can explicitly check your model at any point by choosing Model Check Consistency. Consistency checking is also invoked automatically whenever you save your model. When a consistency check occurs and inconsistencies are found, the Consistency Check panel appears with a list of diagnostic messages, as shown in Figure 10.

Figure 10. Checking for Consistency

If you prefer for EOModeler not to run the consistency check when you save, you can turn off this behavior with the Preferences panel.
