Custom Design rules on table partitions

Question

Hi
I need to create several custom design rule at the table partition level.
for example one of the rule is that
for all table partitions
  if a table partition name begins with M
    then it should not be compressed
    and also should not be in tablespace called xyzHow do i go about enforcing this rule using the design rules

Hi,
here is simple example, you can improve it easily. In fact you have two rules and it's better to create two rules.
var ruleMessage;
var errType;
var table;
//define the function
function checkPartitions(){
ruleMessage = "";
model = table.getDesignPart();
tp = model.getStorageDesign().getStorageObject(table.getObjectID());
result = true;
if(tp!=null){
  partitions = tp.getPartitions().toArray();
  for(var i=0;i<partitions.length;i++){
   partition = partitions;
if(partition.getName().startsWith("M") && "YES".equals(partition.getDataSegmentCompression())){
result = false;
ruleMessage = "Partition " + partition.getName()+" for table "+tp.getLongName()+ " cannot be compressed";
break;
tablespace = partition.getTableSpace();
if(tablespace!=null && "xyz".equals(tablespace.getName()) && partition.getName().startsWith("M")){
result = false;
ruleMessage = "Partition " + partition.getName()+" for table "+tp.getLongName()+ " cannot be in tablespace xyz";
break;
return result;
//call the function
checkPartitions();
you should define it for "Table" object. And your physical model should be open.
