Defining Conceptual Model Preferences

Conceptual model preferences enable you to change some validation errors to warnings. For example, you can change the validation severity during conceptual model design if you are working in a single functional area, and when your design work does not require solution validity across all functional areas. By default, Design Studio displays validation errors for all functional areas.

Note:

The Conceptual Model Preferences page displays only the functional areas that are defined in the workspace. If no functional areas are defined in the workspace, the options defined in this procedure are not available.

To define conceptual model preferences:

From the Window menu, select Preferences.

The Preferences dialog box appears.
In the left-column menu tree, expand the Oracle Design Studio folder.
Click Conceptual Model Preferences.
Select one of the following:
- To relax the validation severity for a functional area, select Model entities relevant to specific Functional Areas.
- To retain the default validation severity for all functional areas, select Entire Model (all Functional Areas). This is the default setting.
For each functional area, select one of the following:
- To relax the validation severity for a functional area, select Warning. For example, select this option for functional areas that are not directly relevant to the functional area in which you are working.
- To retain the default validation severity for a functional area, select Error. Select this option for functional areas in which you intend to work.
Click Apply.
Click OK.
Clean and rebuild the projects in the workspace.
