Global Consistency Check: no warnings for missing keys

Q: When I do the global consistency check in the repository tutorial I don’t get the warnings about no keys being defined as in the tutorial.  If I look in the physical layer then the tables don’t have keys so why are the warnings missing?

They’re missing because by default the global consistency check doesn’t test for “Best Practice” messages – something the tutorial forgot to tell you.  To enable these messages, from the “Consistency Check Manager” (where the warnings and messages are displayed), select the “Options” tab, click on the “Best Practice” node, and then press the “Enable” button at the bottom of the screen.  Click on the “Messages” tab, and then on the “Check All Objects” button.  Now the two “Best Practice” messages about the missing keys should appear.
