Hi all

TransformationRule has transform(Object source, Collection<Object> targets, IEtlContext context).I have tried to use transform(...) method for transforming one element of source model in to target, but it didn't run. Can you tell me, is it possible?

Best regards
Marzieh

It would probably help to provide some minimal sample code and a more specific explanation of what you are trying to achieve with it...

Hi Flavio Costa
I want to transform one element of source model in to target. In other words I have one ETL file that has multi rules. I want to run only one of the rules on the one of model elements by java. When I use the minimal example to run contains EtlStandaloneExample.java file, the below error is appeared.
Exception in thread "main" Property 'name' not found in object LastName

The minimal example contains EtlStandaloneExample.java file. Please run it to see the errors.
I use Eclipse Mars1 with Epsilon 1.4.0.

Hi Marzieh,

You are trying to execute a rule ("SingleValuedAttribute2Column") on a string ("LastName") instead of a model element of type Attribute that the transformation expects. Before you execute your transformation you'll also need to load your model (presumably NewEducational.model) and attach it to your module using module.getContext().getModelRepository().addModel(...).

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris Kolovos
I load the model and attach it to module and I use model element of type Attribute instead of "LastName". But when run show this error:
"Exception in thread "main" Property 'name' not found in object Sequence {c:DB!Column}" .

If it is possible, please explain how can solve this error?

Marzieh

Hi Marzieh,

Could you please prepare an updated version of your minimal example I can use to reproduce this locally? Alternatively, to avoid sending across zipped copies of your code, you may want to put it in a public GitHub repo I can fetch it from.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Marzieh,

"targets" should be a list of model elements but in the current version of your code, it is a list of org.eclipse.epsilon.eol.dom.Parameter objects.

Hello Dimitris Kolovos
Thanks also for the guide. Unfortunately I could not execute the MinimalExample. I debug the code and I think that problem is related to the operation toDBtype() is in "OO2DB.etl" file, this operation called on the "name" that have type of "String", while transform(...) call the operations that have type of "eObject".
The new version of minimal example is attached. It contains EtlStandaloneExample.java file. Please run it to see the errors. Please guide me.

Hi Marzieh,

OO2DB.etl requires three models named "OO", "DB" and "OO2DB", but in your example it is is executed against only one model named "Right".

Hi Marzieh,

Loading the same model twice (e.g. newSource2.model) produces two different sets of in-memory model elements. Epsilon delegates property getting and setting to models and each model only recognises the model elements (in-memory objects) it owns. As such, instead of loading newSourceModel2.model again, you should replace:

etlmodule.getContext().getModelRepository().addModel(OO);

with:

newVersion.setName("OO");
etlmodule.getContext().getModelRepository().addModel(newVersion);

For similar reasons the ETL runtime fails to retrieve the "name" property of the new Column you create as the latter is never added to one of the models involved in the transformation. To add the new column to the DB model, you should add the following line after targets.add(eObject):

DB.getResource().getContents().add(eObject);

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris Kolovos,
Thank you for the answers.
I create a new MinimalExample and I want run transform(...) method for familly2Person example. I have a problem. The problem is related to the operation familyName(). This operation called on the "lastname" that have type of "String", while transform(...) call the operations that have type of "eObject".
The new Minimal Example is attached. It contains EtlStandaloneExample.java file. Please run it to see the errors. Please guide me.

Hi Marzieh,

After

EtlModule module = new EtlModule();

you need to add the following line:

module.getContext().setModule(module);

Linking the context back to the module typically happens in execute() but since you're invoking rules directly, you have to do this in your code.

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hello Dimitris Kolovos
I have two questions:
1) When we want to run a transformation's rule, it's required to run a pre block at first. I want to know How to run a pre block before directly running the rule?

2) Each attribute of a class has a property "owner". For running a rule directly, it is required to detect "owner". How can we detect "owner"?
Best Regards,
Marzieh

2) I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Each attribute of a class has a property "owner"". Could you please elaborate a bit more? (ideally with a concrete example)

But when run the "Class2Table" rule directly, following the error showed: "Exception in thread "main" Method 'primaryKeyName' not found for: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.DynamicEObjectImpl@4550bb58 [eClass: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl@3bb9a3ff [name: Table] [instanceClassName: null] [abstract: false, interface: false]]".
Although, I wrote the "etlmodule.getContext().setModule(etlmodule)".

Hi Marzieh,

Apologies for the slow response. Please replace

EClass eClass = (EClass) metapackage.getEClassifier("Table");
EObject eObject = metapackage.getEFactoryInstance().create(eClass);

EClass eClass1 = (EClass) metapackage.getEClassifier("Column");
EObject eObject1 = metapackage.getEFactoryInstance().create(eClass1);
				
DB.setResource(resource);
targets.add(eObject);
targets.add(eObject1);
				
DB.getResource().getContents().add(eObject);
DB.getResource().getContents().add(eObject1);

with

EObject eObject = DB.createInstance("Table");
EObject eObject1 = DB.createInstance("Column");
targets.add(eObject);
targets.add(eObject1);

in your code and this will work as expected.

Cheers,

Hi Marzieh,

The attached minimal example has a compilation error as EtlStandaloneExample is in the wrong package. When I fixed this, it threw a runtime exception as there's no models/Targets.model. Intuitively, I renamed Table-Targets.model to Targets.model and then it ran to completion printing "student" in the console. Looking at your code, I cannot find any comments that indicate where the problem is or what behaviour you would have expected. Could you please explain the problem you're encountering a bit more with references to specific lines of code?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hello Dimitris Kolovos,

Excuse me for mistake occurred in attaching the minimal Example.
I want to run the "Class2Table" directly with use the Transform(..) method. When I run the codes exists in minimalExample, no error message was seen in console. In other words the rule "Class2Table" has been executed and target model ("Targets") has been generated, but the generated target model has a problem. It has an element of kind of table with name "TableStudent" and an element of kind of Column without any name. (please See figure,( "Targets.PNG"))
Now, problem is that the column hasn't any name. How can I solved it?

Marzieh

Hello Dimitris,
Consider the "oo2db.etl" transformation. I run the "SingleValuedAttribute" and "Class2Table" directly by using the Transform(..) method.
TargetMode's picture and source model were attached[1]. As the picture shows, column "LastName" has not been added to "Table Employee". I think the problem is that the command "c.table::=a.owner" in "oo2DB.etl" file does not run. I can't fix it. Could you please guide me?

Hi Marzieh,

Apologies for the slow response; the last couple of weeks have been frantic. In ETL rules are executed in the order in which they are declared in the tranformation. I'll try to have a closer look at the example you submitted early next week.

Hello Dimitris,
Thank you for your answer. Yes that's right, also I know that the ETL engine maintains internal traceability links to compute equivalent[s]().but I want to run the "SingleValuedAttribute" directly with using the Transform(..) method. Due to command"c.table ::= a.owner", first I run the "Class2Table" directly with using the Transform(..) then I run "SingleValuedAttribute" directly with using the Transform(..) ,but the created Target Model is wrong [1]. Actually in the command "c.table ::= a.owner" , the equivalent of" a.owner" isn't detected and the Property "Table" for the Column "firstName" isn't set, Can you guide me to create the target model correctly?

The minimal example and SourceMode's picture are attached .

Hi Marzieh,

After adding your models to the transformation's model repository you'll also need to change the transformation strategy as follows:

...
etlmodule.getContext().getModelRepository().addModel(DB);
etlmodule.getContext().getModelRepository().addModel(OO2DB);
etlmodule.getContext().setTransformationStrategy(new DefaultTransformationStrategy());
...

also, since you're creating target elements in your Java code, you need to register them with the transformation trace:

...
DB.getResource().getContents().add(eObject);
DB.getResource().getContents().add(eObject1);
etlmodule.getContext().getTransformationTrace().add(Element, targets, tr);
...

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Dimitris
