Executing rules multiple multiple times with a single match [message #1787434]

I want to create a transformation in ETL that creates from a flowchart like model a tree. Where the nodes in the tree are choices in the flowchart model, and the every leaf represents a trace through that flowchart model.
To do that i have created a rule that generates a node for every element in the flowchart, but some nodes in the flowchart, like the stop node, should exist multiple times in the tree.

Is it possible to create a rule that matches only to a single input element and for every reference made to that input element a new output element is created?

Hi Michiel,

ETL rules are only executed once for each matching input. Would something like the following do the trick?

rule FlowchartElement2TreeElement
  transform in : Flowchart!FlowchartElement
  to out : Sequence{Tree!TreeElement} {


  for (ref in referencesTo(in)) {
    var treeElement : new Tree!TreeElement;
    out.add(treeElement);
  }

}

Please note that referencesTo is not a built-in operation but one you'd need to implement.

Cheers,
Dimitris

hi,

Yeah I was already thinking that. I know that it is in ATL possible to do it, by using a lazy rule that is not unique.
Because I have an inheritance relation in a general item, I have used a recursive operation on the elements and used a for loop to generate all the children of a node.

Thanks
