I wish to use the 'hybrid' approach ETL for M2M transformation. My source and target meta-models are similar, and for much of the translation I could deep clone the source elements for use in the target. Is there a feature available that allows me to do this easily, without manually constructing a duplicate?

Hi Andy,
I see. In this case you'll need to write a custom EOL operation that
clones the elements of interest. If you could send me (dskolovos _ gmail
_ com) your source and target metamodels and a short description of what
you're trying to achieve I may be able to propose other workarounds too.
Cheers,
Dimitris
