[Business Rules](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/best-practices?hsLang=en#business-rules) # Target object name conflict (Business Rule) **Applies to** Platform: Microsoft SQL Server · Snowflake · Snowflake dbt · Databricks · Databricks dbt · Fabric Lakehouse · Fabric Warehouse · Oracle These business rules report target objects with the same name in a layer and Custom Singleton Values entries for terms a model object does not have. Both use the ID ID-10065: the name conflict raises a warning, and the Custom Singleton Values entry raises an error, which blocks generation in the client. The details of the message tell them apart. ### Messages Each message names the model object and its type in place of `` and ``. The Generate Artifacts page lists the messages without the rule ID. #### Two target objects with the same name The client shows a warning with this text. The details list each conflicting target object with its model object and layer in place of ``, `` and ``. ``` Model object '' of type '' has target objects that have conflicting naming with other target objects: '' (Model Object: , Layer: ), ... ``` On the model object card, point to the warning icon to see this message with the rule ID: Warning ID-10065. Cause: a table, view or loader of the model object has the same name as one of another model object in the same layer. Names are compared without regard to case. This happens, for example, when two model objects of the same type have the same name. Fix: rename one of the model objects, so that their target object names differ. Checked by Generator 2.3.0 and since Generator 2.4. Generator 2.3.1 does not check target object names. #### Custom Singleton Values entry for a missing term The client shows an error with this text. The details name the Custom Singleton Values entry and the ID of its term in place of ``. ``` Model object '' of type '' has a custom singleton value configured for term with id '', but no corresponding term could be found on the model object. ``` On the model object card, point to the error icon to see this message with the rule ID: Error ID-10065. Cause: Custom Singleton Values of the model object holds a value for a term that the model object does not have. The rule checks Entity, Mart Dimension and the Data Vault types that offer Custom Singleton Values. The error blocks generation in the client. Fix: open Edit Model Object and remove the Custom Singleton Values entry that names no term of the model object. Available since Generator 2.3. ### Check the result The warning or error icon is gone from the model object. After the error is fixed, generation is no longer blocked by it. ### Example In a Data Mart project on Microsoft SQL Server, a second Mart Composite is renamed to `common_employee`, the name of an existing Mart Composite. Both now have the same target object names. The client shows: ``` Model object 'common_employee' of type 'Mart Composite' has target objects that have conflicting naming with other target objects: 'DM_MC_common_employee_Source' (Model Object: common_employee, Layer: Mart), 'DM_MC_common_employee_Deduplication' (Model Object: common_employee, Layer: Mart), 'DM_MC_common_employee' (Model Object: common_employee, Layer: Mart), 'DM_MC_common_employee_Loader' (Model Object: common_employee, Layer: Mart), 'DM_MC_common_employee_Result' (Model Object: common_employee, Layer: Mart). ``` ### Related articles -
