Source/Target Metaconstraints not working???

[Jayson]

Hey all

I have created some source/target metaconstraints, created some connectors that violate those constraints (I am a rebel, I know!) and then run the model validation.
However, when I do so the validation doesn't flag any errors.

Some XML from my MDG is shown below.
Any clues what I've don wrong (other than woke up this morning ;-) )

Cheers

Jays

Did you use my MDG example from Last years's EA Global Summit by any chance? I seem to recognise the MDG ID PRCMG 

As far As I know Metaconstraints and Stereotyped Relationships are only validated when connectors are made by Quicklink and in the relationship Matrix (I think).

Model validation is something else altogether, and as far as I recall requires some coding for which Sparx provide the code framework.

Perhaps someone else can provide more info of model validation since it is not something I have delved into.

Like Phil I'm not sure whether validation is touched by the meta constraints. I never really used the model validation of EA (only once when I tested it and it failed my level of "wantness"). Pretty sure Eve will hop on unless Australia is on holidays now.

The example provided won't generate anything inside EA because you haven't given a source and target.

Once you have both it will generate a rule, which will be used by connector validation.
