Automated runs of ATL-Transformations [message #1691741]

Hi all,

I have a bunch of different input-models (serialized in .xmi) for my ATL-Tranfo.
So it is quite onerous to run them seperatly, by configuring the runtime-config every time..

Is there a better, way to run tranformations on different input-models at once (one after an other)?

Maybe something link a Unit-Test for ATL-Transformations with different input-models?

Best regards,

Alex

Hi,
You can use either specific ANT tasks or a dedicated Java API.
You should find everything you need from https://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL/Howtos#How_do_I_launch_transformations_programmatically.3F

Hello,

one little question:
When I launch my transformations via java, will superimpositions be supported by default?

Will the following code-snippet (from: https://github.com/101companies/101repo/blob/master/contributions/atl/src/atl/RunTransfoJava.java) work :

ILauncher transformationLauncher = new EMFVMLauncher();
...
transformationLauncher.launch(ILauncher.RUN_MODE, new NullProgressMonitor(), new HashMap<String,Object>(),
new FileInputStream("Transformations/ROOT_TRANSFORMATION_FOR_SUPERIMPOSITIONS.asm"));

Regards,
Alex

I don't think so, you should have to provide specific options to the launcher via a corresponding Map<String,Object>.
For knowing about the available options, you can take a look into the implementation of the launcher you are using (EMFVMLauncher).

Hi,

I just tried the following and came quit far:

1. Created a ATL-Plugin for a ATL-Launch-Configuration
2. Added all ATL-Modules and Libs, so the .properties-file is build and looks fine and the superimposition-hierarchy should work :

# ATL modules: if several, by order of superimposition (the latter ones overrides the former ones)
SuperModule_A2B.modules = module0.atl, module1.atl, initializations.atl

But when I run the transformation from java like this:

                        SuperModule_A2B runner1 = new SuperModule_A2B();
			runner1.loadModels("inputmodels/Mod_1.xmi");
			runner1.doAlfModel2Java(new NullProgressMonitor());
			runner1.saveModels("outputmodels/Mod1_out.xmi");

All needed rules in initializations.atl couldn't be found. Or do I maybe create my superimposition-hierarchy in a wrong way?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,

I found the problem and solved it.
All the "underlying" modules where also added as libraries in the config-file:

# ATL modules: if several, by order of superimposition (the latter ones overrides the former ones)
SuperModule_A2B.modules = module0.atl, module1.atl, initializations.atl

# Libraries paths
SuperModule_A2B.libraries.module0 = module0.asm
SuperModule_A2B.libraries.module1 = module1.asm
SuperModule_A2B.libraries.initializations= initializations.asm

I've added the '@path' in the modules itselves to have a better understanding code. But this
lead to a wrong plugin-project configuration.
