[ATL] how can I the filename of the source model? [message #870297]

I've just started learning how ATL works, and this may be a trivial question but I can't find a way to do it.

I'm trying to transform a XML file (e.g. "A.xml") into another XML with different structure (e.g. "B.xml") and the new file B.xml has an attribute that references the previous file (something like <base href="A.xml"/>).

Is there any method to get filename of the source model ("A.xml" in the example) being transformed?

Hi

[Please use the new ATL newsgroup for ATL questions.]

I'm not an ATL expert, but with other tools I find it necessary to pass
such environment context in as a transformation parameter.

A solution would be to add an element <File... ="A.xml" ... >
in the source file. This will make the job if you are not
planning to rename this file all the time, but from what I have
seen yet, all files and overall execution configuration is placed in the
run (launch configuration).

Good luck.

[AML] Classification of changes in metamodel [message #882840 is a reply to message #870297]

Hi,

I want to use AML for metamodel evolution and model co-evolution. I went through some literature for basic understanding of evolutions on metamodel.I have seen some classifications for metamodel changes in literature for metamodel matching approaches like non-breaking, breakable and resolvable, breakable and non resolvable. I would like to know if these classifications can be taken into account while using AML for metamodel evolution and model co-evolution or are there some other classifications?

Thanks,
Lucky

Hi

AML is/was an extension of ATL, so you should ask on the ATL newsgroup.
I'm not certain that there is any ongoing activity so you may not get an
answer.

You were probably right in trying to ciommunicate on Edaapt, but again
I'm not sure that there is much activity.

My own reaction is that it's only software so you can do whatever you
program/re-use.
