Validate Requirements Links in a Model
5-5
Consistency Check Problem Identified
• Microsoft Excel documents
• IBM Rational DOORS documents
• Simulink objects
Identify selection-based links having
description fields that do not match their
requirements document text
The Description field for the link does not
match the requirements document text.
When you create selection-based links, the
Requirements Management Interface (RMI)
saves the selected text in the link Description
field. This check is implemented for:
• Microsoft Word documents
• Microsoft Excel documents
• IBM Rational DOORS documents
• Simulink objects
Identify requirement links with path type
inconsistent with preferences
The path to the requirements document does not
match the Document file reference field in
the Requirements Settings dialog box Selection
Linking tab. This might indicate a problem
with the path to the requirements document.
On Linux

systems, this check is named
Identify requirement links with absolute
path type. The check reports a warning for each
requirements links that uses an absolute path.
Note: For information about how the RMI
resolves the path to the requirements document,
see “Document Path Storage” on page 5-15.
The Model Advisor checks to see if any applications that have link targets are
running:
• If your model has links to Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel documents, the
consistency check requires that you close all instances of those applications.
If you have one of these applications open, it displays a warning and does not
