As an Application Owner you on-boarded an application in AIP Console and you want to control if the software architecture that has been designed by Software Architects is respected. This can be done by using Architecture Checker and, for that, you must have analyzed a version (and generated a snapshot) and you need an architecture model.
Software Architects may have one that corresponds to the software architecture to be verified. If not, then a new one can be created with the client-server version of Architecture Checker since it is not yet possible to do that in AIP Console.

If you want to view how the model is designed to detect structural flaws, then you can open the model editor. This one will allow you to make some changes as well.
To open the model editor, click the ellipsis button at the right-side of the model line and select the View item:
The model editor opens and displays the layers (in blue) and sets (in green) that define the model, with the associated dependencies (in bold green) and composition links (in doted green):
If you want to see or maybe update the model properties (name, ID, documentation, weight, …), then simply click the edit button close to the model name:
The dialog that appears displays these properties:
You can add new Layers, Sets, and Dependencies by using the tool bar:
From left to right, you can add a new Layer object to the model, you can add a new Set object, you can add a new Dependency between 2 Layer objects
and you can remove an existing Dependency from the model.
To change the selection criteria defined to capture objects in layers and sets, use the Add, Edit, Remove icons associated to the different graphical elements:
Do not forget to save your changes before exiting the model editor. Even Layer and Set objects position will be saved.
