# Supported Historization Types (Business Rule)

**Applies to**  
Platform: Microsoft SQL Server · Snowflake · Databricks · Databricks dbt · Fabric Lakehouse · Fabric Warehouse · Oracle  
Architecture: Data Store · Dimensional · Data Mart

This business rule checks that terms and relationships use only the historization types SCD0, SCD1 and SCD2. It raises an error, which blocks generation in the client until you fix it. The rule IDs are ID-10008 for terms and ID-10009 for relationships.

### Messages

Each message names the model object and its type in place of `<model object name>` and `<type>`. The Generate Artifacts page lists the messages without the rule ID.

#### Historization type of a term

The client shows an error with this text:

```
Model object '<model object name>' of type '<type>' has unsupported
historization type for terms defined. Supported historization types are:
SCD0, SCD1, SCD2.
```

On the model object card, point to the error icon to see this message with the rule ID: Error ID-10008.

![Error popup of a Mart Dimension card with Error ID-10008 and the message details](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-18-2024-01-42-34-9085-PM.png?width=643&height=168&name=image-png-Sep-18-2024-01-42-34-9085-PM.png)

Cause: a term of a Mart Dimension, Store Entity or Entity has no Historization Type, or one other than SCD0, SCD1 and SCD2. Default Terms and business key terms are not checked; on an Entity, foreign key terms are not checked either.  
Fix: set Historization Type SCD0, SCD1 or SCD2 on the term, see [Edit a Term](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/edit-a-term?hsLang=en).

#### Historization type of a relationship

The client shows an error with this text:

```
Model object '<model object name>' of type '<type>' has unsupported
historization type for relations defined. Supported historization types
are: SCD0, SCD1, SCD2.
```

On the model object card, point to the error icon to see this message with the rule ID: Error ID-10009.

Cause: a relationship of an Entity has no Historization Type, or one other than SCD0, SCD1 and SCD2. The rule checks the relationships of Entity only.  
Fix: set Historization Type SCD0, SCD1 or SCD2 on the relationship, see [Edit a Relationship](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/edit-a-relationship?hsLang=en).

### Check the result

The error icon is gone from the model object, and generation is no longer blocked by it.

### Example

In a Data Mart project on Microsoft SQL Server, the term `CUSTOMER` of the Mart Dimension `scd_0` has no historization type. The client shows:

```
Model object 'scd_0' of type 'Mart Dimension' has unsupported
historization type for terms defined. Supported historization types are:
SCD0, SCD1, SCD2.
```
