Before you import a Rational® XDE model into the Rational UML modeling products, you should check the model for Unified Modeling Language (UML) compliance in Rational XDE. Models that have been validated have a better chance of being successfully imported from XDE.
If rule violations such as errors or warning are detected, a summary message appears in the XDE Output window; informational messages appear in the XDE Task List window.
The following table lists the three levels of model validation severity:
Model validation severity level | Description |
---|---|
Error | An error indicates a critical violation that is not allowed. |
Warning | A warning is less severe than an error; it indicates a rule violation that is allowed, but which results in your model being semantically incorrect. |
Informational Messages | An informational message is the least severe form of violation; it indicates a rule that is inconsistent with UML standards but does not need to be corrected. |
