Viewing and repairing requirement association problems

Use the Requirement Link Problems view to review and resolve link problems between requirements and model elements. Association (or link) problems occur when associated artifacts are moved, deleted, or are otherwise unavailable.

If the file that contains associated model elements has been moved outside your workspace, you must first import it into your workspace before resolving links. Requirements with link problems are marked in the requirement views with a "problem" icon. Link problems are identified in the Requirement Link Problems view by the following information:

To view and repair link problems:

  1. Open the Requirement Link Problems view.
  2. Complete one of the following steps:
    • To remove the link and the association, right-click the requirement and select Unlink.
    • To repair the link, right-click the requirement and click Fix Linked Element Resource. In the Select a resource window, browse to current location of the resource, select the resource file, and click OK.
    • To replace the link with a new association, drag a domain (model) element to the requirement that has the link problem.
