Please could you tell me what is wrong with the helper?
I try to find out the "id" of the Event. If the id = '1' then change to 'StartEvent' else let '1'
-- @path Families=/EPL2BPMN/EPK.ecore
-- @path Persons=/EPL2BPMN/BPMN.ecore
module EPL2BPMN;
create OUT : BPMN from IN : EPK;
helper context EPK!Event def: id : String =
if self.Event.id = '1' then
'StartEvent'
else
'1'
endif;
rule Event {
from
e : EPK!Event
to
b : BPMN!StartEvent
(
id <- e.id,
name <- e.name
)
}
rule Flow {
from
e : EPK!ControlFlow
to
b : BPMN!SequenceFlow
(
sourceRef <- e.source,
targetRef <- e.target
)
}
Thank you.

If you don't tell us what exactly doesn't work, we can only use our
crystal balls... Do you get an exception or only different results as
you have expected?

Without knowing the EPK metamodel, the self.Event.id looks a bit
suspicious to me. Does the EPK!Event class have an Attribute id? If
yes, then this should most probably be "self.id".
And in that case, I'm not sure if defining an attribute helper with a
name equal to an attribute is a good idea.
I'm no ATL expert, but I'm interested what would happen then? Would ATL
prefer the helper over the attribute in rules, i.e. I could redefine
attributes using attribute helpers?
And how about using "id" in the "id" helper? Would that be a (infinite)
recursion, or is the id attribute used? And using id from other
helpers: attribute or helper?

Ok.

Are you sure? It seems to me that you really want to create a
BPMN!StartEvent for each EPK!Event with id = '1'. So your rule should
have a constraint on the input element.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
helper context EPK!Event def: isStartEvent : Boolean = self.id = '1';
rule Event {
from
e : EPK!Event (e.isStartEvent)
to b : BPMN!StartEvent
(
id <- e.id,
name <- e.name
)
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I didn't test it, but at least in theory that should create a
BPMN!StartEvent for all EPK!Events with id set to '1'.
