Update referenced requirements from external requirements document

Description

example

[status,changeList] = updateFromDocument(topRef) updates the referenced requirements under the import node topRef. The function returns the update status and a list of updated requirements.

example

[status,changeList] = updateFromDocument(topRef,docURI) updates the referenced requirements under the import node from the external requirements document specified by docURI. Use this syntax to update referenced requirements when the name or path of the external requirements document has changed.

Input Arguments

expand all

Import node, specified as an slreq.Reference object.

Resource identifier for the external requirements document, specified as a string scalar or character vector.

Example: [status,changelist] = updateFromDocument(topRef,"myDoc.docx")

Output Arguments

expand all

Requirement set update status, returned as a character vector.

List of updated referenced requirements, returned as a character vector. The list includes the properties of each referenced requirement changed by the function.

Examples

This example shows how to check if the import node has an available update and update the referenced requirements.

Load the crs_req requirement set.

rs = slreq.load("crs_req");

Get a handle to the import node of the requirement set.

topRef = children(rs);

Check if the import node has an available update.

tf = hasNewUpdate(topRef)
tf = logical
   1

A result of 1 means that topRef has been updated since the last time it was imported. Update the referenced requirements under the import node.

[status,changelist] = updateFromDocument(topRef)
status = 
'Update completed. Refer to Comments on Import1.'
changelist =

This example shows how to update referenced requirements from an external requirements document with a different name than the original requirements document.

Load the crs_req requirement set.

rs = slreq.load("crs_req");

Get a handle to the import node of the requirement set.

topRef = children(rs);

Get the name of the external requirements document that the requirements were imported from.

oldDoc = topRef.Artifact
oldDoc = 
'crs_req.docx'

Update the referenced requirements from the document with the name crs_req_new.docx.

[status,changelist] = updateFromDocument(topRef,"crs_req_new.docx")
status = 
'Update completed. Refer to Comments on Import1.'
changelist =

Tips

  • When your requirement set contains requirements imported from multiple external requirements documents, update only the referenced requirements from the specified external requirements document by using the updateReferences method.

  • To change the stored name and path of the external requirements document without updating the imported referenced requirements, use the updateSrcFileLocation method.
