Identifying validation rules for UML models

You can identify the rules that cause errors, warnings, or reminders when you validate a UML model or diagram.

Before you begin

Model validation errors, warnings, or reminders must be displayed in the Problems view or Tasks view.

About this task

To identify the validation rules that cause errors, warnings, or reminders:

Procedure

  1. In the Problems view or Tasks view, right-click an error, warning, or reminder; then click Constraint definition.
  2. In the Constraint Definition window, review the constraints, categories, and descriptions.
    Tip: You can use the Constraint Definition window to better understand the UML rules that are applied to your models.
  3. Optional: If the constraint is not mandatory, you can disable it and exclude it from the validation process.
