CMS - Architecture Models view

Architecture Models view

This section provides a detailed description of the Architecture Models view. This view essentially provides a means for you to manage your Architecture Models as part of CAST's Architecture Checker feature - please see CAST Architecture Checker for more information.

Architecture Models shortcut menus

The following shortcut menu items are available in the view:

Architecture Model

	Edit	Use this option to modify the properties of your Architecture Model. The Architecture model editor will be displayed.
	Remove	Please see Remove.
	Verify	This option will carry out a verification check on the selected item in the current editor. This means that the CAST Management Studio will check that all dependent items are present - for instance a User Defined Module should have one Object Filter and an Application should have an Analysis Service, a Source Code Repository and a Technology). In addition the validation check will also take into account the external context - for instance, for components that rely on files, a check will be made to ensure that the files exist and are valid (e.g.: .CASTArchitect files in the Architecture Model editor). Results are displayed in the Verification view. Notes This check-up is similar to the check carried out automatically in the Validation view.

No item selected

	Edit	Use this option to modify the properties of your Architecture Model. A generic editor will be displayed.
	Add new Architecture model	Use this option to add a new Architecture Model component. A component called My Architecture Model will be displayed in the view and the corresponding Architecture model editor will be displayed enabling you to modify its properties.
-	Check All Models Consistency	Use this option to check the consistency of all the Architecture Models in the view. Doing so will force the CAST Management Studio to "parse" each .CASTArchitect file assigned to your Architecture Models in the Architecture model editor and return a summary of results:
