Chapter 4 Working with an XML model

Checking an XML Model

The XML Model is a very flexible tool, which allows you quickly to develop your model without constraints. You can, however, check the validity of your XSM at any time.

Note   Check your XSM before generating an XML document
We recommend that you check your XSM before generating an XML document or other model from it. If the check encounters errors, generation will be stopped. The Check model option is enabled by default in the Generation dialog box.

Steps To check an XSM:

  1. Press F4, or
  2. Select Tools→Check Model, or
  3. Right-click the diagram background and select Check Model from the contextual menu

The Check Model Parameters window opens, which allows you to specify the kinds of checks to perform, and the objects to apply them to. For detailed information about this window and correcting problems reported, see "Checking a Model" in the "Managing Models" chapter of the General Features Guide .

The following sections document the checks available by default for an XSM.
