Chapter 3 Working with an XML model

Undefined selector

You must define an XPath expression for a keyRef selector attribute.

Manual correction	Automatic correction
In the keyRef property sheet, define an	—
XPath expression for the selector
attribute. For example:
s:company/s:employee

For more information on XPath expressions, see section Defining an identity constraint selector in chapter Building an XML model.

Unique check

During a unique constraint check, the following object controls are made.

Unique name and code uniqueness

An element cannot contain two unique constraints with identical names and/or codes.

Manual correction	Automatic correction
Rename one of the unique constraints	Renames the unique constraint by
	appending a number to its name or
	code

Existence of fields

A unique constraint must contain at least one field.

Manual correction	Automatic correction
Add at least one field to the unique	Deletes unassigned unique constraint
constraint or delete the unique constraint.
For example: @numEmployee

For more information on fields, see section Defining an identity constraint field in chapter Building an XML model.
