Open NSM Option Editor from Model Explorer and Define Naming Standards for a Physical Model

You can specify naming standards for physical names that are different from the naming standards for logical names. Use the Physical tab in Naming Standard Editor to apply naming standards to tables, columns, and domains. In addition use the editor and specify the order in which parts of names appear in the physical name.

Follow these steps:

1. Expand the Model Explorer, right-click Naming Standard and click New.

   A new Naming Standard object is added.

2. Right-click the new object and click Properties.

   The Naming Standard Editor opens.

3. To apply the naming standard to your model:
   • In the list of naming standards, select your naming standard and then select Is Active.
4. To preserve any changes made to the naming standard in the Physical mode and reflect those in the Logical mode:
   • In the list of naming standards, select your naming standard and then select Physical to Logical.

     Note:

     • The physical mode to logical mode naming standard implementation caters to cases where the logical definition is absent.
     • For Hive, when reverse engineering (REC or RES) is done, the Physical to Logical option on the Naming Standard Editor is not set by default. You need to set it manually.
5. Go to the Physical tab.
6. Select the part of the name such as prime, modifier1, modifier2, or class that you want to include first in the physical name. Specify the parts in the the Table, Column, and Domain rows.
7. Click Close.

   The data is saved.
