Build Model

Saves any change made to data in the module and begins the build process. User Defined Elements (UDETs) and User Defined Attributes (UDAs) that have been manually mapped will not be updated during the build process. These UDETs and UDAs remain unchanged and will not become controlled by Data Model.

Any manual edit to the UDETs and UDAs created during the build process are outside the control of Data Model and are done so at the user’s risk. Edits to these UDETs and UDAs may cause the conceptual model to be inaccurate and any subsequent build may undo the changes.

If active claims exist, the Active Claims Check window is displayed.

Active claims can exist when two users have separate instances of the application open at the same time and are using the same project. If one user modifies elements and builds the model, the elements are claimed. If the other user modifies elements and builds the model, the Active Claims Check window is displayed, indicating that elements are currently claimed by another user.

Click Cancel to cancel the build.

Click Export to export a list of claimed elements to a text file. Use the Save File window to navigate to the location and name the file.

Click Build to continue building the model, the Confirm window is displayed.

Select the Remove Unused Definitions check box to remove definitions that are not used after completion of the build process.

The LOCK attribute is set/unset on the Dabacon elements (UDET, UDA) which are created during the build process.

If the LOCK attribute was previously set, the locks are removed prior to commencing the build process.

Select the Lock Built Database Definitions check box to lock Dabacon elements (UDET, UDA) which were created during the build process after completion of the build process.

Click Yes to confirm the build or click No to cancel the build.

The Build Database Definitions window displays the progress of the build.

Click Show Details to expand the Build Database Definitions window which displays a summary of the build process.

Click Save Error Log to save the errors and warnings to a log file. Input a file name and define a location for the saved file. The file is saved to CSV format.

Click Hide Details to contract the Build Database Definitions window which removes the summary of the build process from the display.

Click Close to close the Build Database Definitions window.
