Apply a profile to UML model [message #890121]

Hi,
I would automatically apply the UML Testing Profile to an UML model.

What is the best way and the best tool (I'm trying with ATL with few results) to do it, based on your experience?

Hi

The MDT/UML2 project is the home of all these algorithms.

The UML Model Editor (with UML Examples installed) provides an
interactive interface to the algorithms.

When I want the same thing automated I search/debug to see how the UML
Model Editor does it and usually find a utility.

A good tip when working with any code base is to search out all *Util*
classes. You may find good re-useable things (e.g. EcoreUtil, UMLUtil).

I am using QVT to do it ... I had few results in my little experience with ATL.

I am writing some of my problems and solutions in a blog

http //tambienvineaestudiar wordpress com/2012/05/10/como-aplicar-un-uml-profile-con-qvt/

it is in spanish... if you have any particular question related with what I've tried, just let me know

Thank you both.
I prefer not to use the API for now, also if I think that it is the best way to do what I want...

@Federico could you say me if you used QVT Operational plugin of Eclipse or something else?

Hi Federico, I'm trying your script but the output is empty. Moreover the "utp.xmi" that I put in run configuration is erased after the run... I don't understand why. As metamodel I used utp.ecore and uml.ecore that are generated from utp.xmi transformation by emf.

probably it's a problem with the metamodels.
In my experience, everything get complicated around this (in MediniQVT and in ATL). You have to be sure that the model and the metamodel correspond each other. If you look for a "class" and your model has "class" but with different metamodels, you can have an empty transformation.

which script are you trying?
and check in the blog that I've explained which metamodels I'm using, and also, I changed some things in the metamodels manually, because I had problems with that... to apply stereotypes you need to reference the Eclipse UML metamodel, so .. the ecore files generated by EMF didnt work (at least in my tries)

Yes, I think that you are right about the metamodels.
I'm trying the script in-here: hxxp:://tambienvineaestudiar wordpress com/2012/05/10/como-aplicar-un-uml-profile-con-qvt/
I add the transformation statement with three input of type uml. As uml metamodel I tried the three version given by Eclipse.
The problem that I'm having now is that it doesn't recognize uml::Class as a uml::Classifier in class2datapool:

enforce domain target dp:utp::DataPool{
     base_Classifier = dp_class
};

About OMG UTP.xmi I've done the same your things.

for me the key for this kind of problems (I also faced these problems) is here:

hope it helps

It helped me, thanks Federico.

Now I've the visualization problem of the first link and I don't understand very well what you have done to visualize in the right way the target uml model. If you had a minute to explain it, I appreciate it very much...

I've edited the uml file with a text editor, replacing:

"uml.ecore"

by

"http//www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML"

you have to add ":" in the last url (sorry, I need to post a couple of messages more in order to be allowed to publish URLs)
tell me if it works

Hi,
I'm here again Razz

I'm trying to do the same Federico's things but I fail somewhere...
Summing up... I'm doing these steps:

change the string "hxxp://www.omg.org/spec/UML/20090901" with "hxxp://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.2"
transform the utp.xmi from OMG in ecore by EMF
use Federico's qvt script from "hxxp://tambienvineaestudiar.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/como-aplicar-un-uml-profile-con-qvt/"
get various errors:
- if I use utp.xmi instead of utp.uml (same source) after the script execution the file become empty
- the qvt compiler gets me this Problem: "when clause of relation 'class2datapool' could not be resolved (variable 'm' is not assigned)!"

Any suggestion is appreciated very much Razz

Hi

It seems Federico isn't going to help.

I responded to your original question and identified the UML tooling
available. ATL or any other transformation engine is unnecessary, so I'm
unclear why you're pursuing it.

If you still have an Eclipse problem rather than a MediniQVT problem,
please raise it in a way that someone might actually be able to help.
