will be removed.

If you set the link option to FALSE, the attribute values for the linked occurrences will be incorporated

into the local deﬁnition and no links from common occurrences to local occurrences will be created.

The following tables explain in detail, the actions taken by SDUTIL based upon user speciﬁed options. In

general, if there are problems modifying the target common occurrence, then the occurrence linking will be

removed and the target occurrence will be kept as local.

Table 8: LINK OPTION FALSE

Source Target Action

LINKED LINKED If the occurrences are compatible then no action is necessary. If they are incom-

patible then the INCOMPATIBLE-DEFINITION option will determine

whether or not to replace the common occurrence attributes.

LINKED NOT

LINKED

If the attribute values of the common occurrence from the source is compatible

with the target local occurrence attribute values, then nothing needs to be done.

If they are incompatible then the value of INCOMPATIBLE-DEFINITION

option will determine whether or not to modify the target local occurrence

attribute values.

NOT

LINKED

LINKED The value of the INCOMPATIBLE-DEFINITION option will determine

whether or not to modify the target common occurrence attribute values if any

action is necessary.

NOT

LINKED

NOT

LINKED

The INCOMPATIBLE-DEFINITION option will determine the action if any is

necessary.

Table 9: LINK OPTION TRUE

Source Target Action

LINKED LINKED If the occurrences are compatible then no action is necessary. If they are incom-

patible then the INCOMPATIBLE-DEFINITION option will determine whether

or not to replace the common occurrence attributes. If replacing the common

occurrence fails then the target link will be broken and the local occurrence will

be modiﬁed to have the source values.
