slupdate - Replace blocks from previous releases with latest versions

Syntax

slupdate('sys')
slupdate('sys', prompt)
slupdate('sys', 'OperatingMode', 'Analyze')

Description

slupdate('sys') replaces blocks in model sys from a previous release of Simulink software with the latest versions.

Note   Best practice is to first open the model before you call slupdate.

slupdate('sys', prompt) specifies whether to prompt you before replacing a block. If prompt equals 1, the command prompts you before replacing the block. The prompt asks whether you want to replace the block. Valid responses are

• y

  Replace the block (the default).

• n

  Do not replace the block.

• a

  Replace this and all subsequent obsolete blocks without further prompting.

If prompt equals 0, the command replaces all obsolete blocks without prompting you.

In addition to replacing obsolete blocks, slupdate

• Reconnects broken links to masked blocks in libraries provided by the MathWorks to ensure that the model reflects changes made to the blocks in this release. This will overwrite any customizations that you have made to the masks of these blocks.

• Updates obsolete configuration settings for the model.

slupdate('sys', 'OperatingMode', 'Analyze') performs only the analysis portion without updating or changing the model. This command analyzes referenced models, linked libraries, and S-functions, and then returns a data structure with the following fields:

• Message — string containing a message summarizing the results

• blockList — cell array listing blocks that need to be updated

• blockReasons — cell array listing reasons for updating the corresponding blocks

• modelList — cell array listing referenced models and the parent model

• libraryList — cell array listing non-MathWorks libraries referenced

• configSetList — for internal use

• sfunList — cell array listing S-functions referenced

• sfunOK — logical array representing S-function status, where false indicates that an S-function needs updating and true indicates otherwise

• sfunType — cell array listing apparent S-function type (e.g., m, mex)
