From the Authoring section of the
action bar, click
Manage & Update Requirement Links Items/Operations
.
The Update & Repair Links panel displays,
with the following columns:
- Display Name
- N: A number that helps navigating the
inconsistent links. It is automatically recalculated at each
calculation of the list.
- Source: The source object of the
link.
- Suggestion to Perform: The proposed action to
correct the inconsistent requirement links. This is the only component
of the panel that you can modify.
- Previous Target: The previous target pointed by
the link.
- Candidate Target: The candidate target can be
used to reroute the link.
- Implement Status: Whether the target
requirement has been upgraded or not.
- Link Type: The implement link regarding the
requirements.
- Relationship: The relationship involved between
the items or operations and the requirements.
-
Select one or several objects, and right-click anywhere in the panel.
A context menu displays with a list of actions. The available actions depend on the selected
objects.
-
To correct a source object, select one of the following actions:
- Replace Object by Revision: A new revision of the
source object is created as a reference, and replaces it in the session.
This action is available when the source object can be replaced.
- Delete Object: The source object is deleted, as
well as its instance in the session.
-
To correct an inconsistent link, select one of the following actions:
- Reroute Link: The inconsistent link is rerouted
to the retrieved target.
- Remove Link: The inconsistent link is
deleted.
-
To keep an inconsistent link or source object unchanged, select one of the
following actions:
- Remain Object: The instance of the source object
remains. The object is not modified.
- Ignore Link: The inconsistent link remains. There
is no modification regarding the link.
-
Click Apply.
The defined actions are applied, and the dialog is updated accordingly.
A report can be displayed, detailing all the applied
modifications. An algorithm identifies whenever the source selected is
involved by at least one link to correct:
- Whenever this case occurs, the algorithm is interrupted, and the
links are displayed in a dialog.
- Whenever there is no link to correct, the algorithm recursively
investigates the children. It is interrupted every time an
inconsistency is found, and the links are displayed in a dialog. As
a result, the inconsistent links regarding a source, which is a
child of another source involved by an inconsistency, are not shown
in the dialog.
