Validating a Model

Check the validity of your model at any time, but especially after message changes, before generating message templates, code, or a physical model.

1. (Optional) Select diagrams for the messages you want to validate.
2. Choose Tools > Check Model (F4).
3. In the Options tab of Check Model Parameters, expand the containers and choose validation checks.
   The Options tab lists checks to be performed with symbols indicating their severity.

   • Do not disable any RAP-specific checks.
   • (Default and recommended) Disable Existence of Relationship under Message Definition.
4. In the Selection tab, navigate to the Message Definitions subtab and select message definitions to check:
   • Select or unselect check boxes.
   • Choose a named selection.
   • If you selected messages in your diagram before starting the model check, you can select them for checking by clicking Use Graphical Selection in the Selection tab toolbar.
5. Choose OK.

Review results in the Check Model subtab in the status bar. It lists the checks made, and any errors or warnings.

Correct any errors. No automatic corrections are provided.
