Programmatically Analyze and Upgrade Model

Open Live Script

This example shows how to analyze and upgrade your model, and then apply automatic fixes when they are available.

1. Load your model and create an upgrader object. In this example, to load and open the example model, open the project that contains the model.

openProject("ModelReferenceHierarchy");
upgrader = upgradeadvisor("sldemo_mdlref_depgraph.slx")
upgrader = 
  Upgrader with properties:

      ChecksToSkip: {}
     SkipLibraries: 0
     SkipBlocksets: 1
      OneLevelOnly: 0
        ShowReport: 1
    VerboseLogging: 0
         RootModel: 'sldemo_mdlref_depgraph'
        ReportFile: ''

Run "upgrade" on this Upgrader object to analyze and automatically upgrade your models.

2. Analyze the model for recommended upgrades, following library links and model references.

analyze(upgrader);

3. Specify an output to find the location of the report.

reportLocation = upgrader.ReportFile;

4. Configure options before you analyze or upgrade your model.

  • By default, upgradeadvisor generates backup copies for models during the upgrade process. To turn off the generation of backup files, set the EnableBackups property.

upgrader.EnableBackups = false;

  • To skip a check, in the Upgrade Advisor, right-click the check, select Send Check ID to Workspace, and set the ChecksToSkip property.

upgrader.ChecksToSkip = {"mathworks.design.CSStoVSSConvert"};

  • To analyze or upgrade the current model without analyzing library links, model references, or test harnesses that are saved as external models, enable the OneLevelOnly property.

upgrader.OneLevelOnly = true;

  • To analyze or upgrade the current model and model references but not library links, enable the SkipLibraries property.

upgrader.SkipLibraries = true;

  • To analyze and upgrade the current models and files in blocksets or toolboxes, disable the SkipBlocksets property. By default, the Upgrade Advisor does not upgrade files in blocksets or toolboxes. The Upgrade Advisor detects blocksets from the output of the ver function and the existence of the Contents file.

upgrader.SkipBlocksets = false;

  • To turn off showing the report after you analyze or upgrade your model, disable the ShowReport property.

upgrader.ShowReport = false;

5. Upgrade the model and apply automatic fixes when they are available.
