Model Validation Broadcasts [EA User Guide]

Performing Model Validation from an Add-In

Using the following Enterprise Architect broadcasts, it is possible to define a set of rules that are evaluated when the user instructs Enterprise Architect to perform model validation. An Add-In that performs model validation would involve the following broadcast events:

·	EA_OnInitializeUserRules is intercepted in order to define rule categories and rules.

·	EA_OnStartValidation can be intercepted to perform any required processing prior to validation.

·	The following functions intercept each request to validate an individual element, package, diagram, connector, attribute and method:

·	EA_OnRunElementRule

·	EA_OnRunPackageRule

·	EA_OnRunDiagramRule

·	EA_OnRunConnectorRule

·	EA_OnRunAttributeRule

·	EA_OnRunMethodRule

·	EA_OnEndValidation can be intercepted to perform any required clean-up after validation has completed.
