Query in ETL -Accessing the Target Node Parent? [message #1730799]

Hello,

I have a situation to write a ETL rule for the following model transformation.

Tree
-------- + Node(A)
---------------- + Node(B)
-------------------------------- + Node(C)

Graph
-------- + Node(A)
---------------- + Node(B)
-------------------------------- + Node(C)
---------------------------------------- ==> Node_C_Sibiling (Reference to Node_C_Sibiling)
---------------------------------+ Node_(C_Sibiling)

The use case is , I have write a rule for transformation source model to target model. For Node_C i have to do the following
1) Create a sibiling Node
2) Refer the Sibiling Node to Node_c

Problem area...

rule Tree2Node transform t : Tree!Node
to n : Graph!Node {
guard : t.name ==' Node_c'

n.name = t.name;

if (n.parent.isDefined()) { // returning false
// transformation for attribute copy
}
}

Please let me know how to do I access the target active node's parent Node?

Since n.parent.isDefined() is returning false. This means I can't access the active Target node's parent ? Or is there way to access the target's Node parent ?
Hence I can add the sibiling node.

Best Regards,

Rajkumar

You're trying to access n.parent on a new Node n, before it has been set. Shouldn't you set it first, probably from the equivalent() of one of the tree nodes related to the current tree node?

Thank you for the feedback....Sorry for delay in reply.

I tried this solutions and couldn't find any issues during the transformation.

However when I used equivalent() in source model and added the target Node

the added elements are not serialized in the file. But if I use the println() on the

added nodes and the size of containments are printing properly in the console.

Any idea why the added elements are not serialized in the file ?

Best Regards,

Rajkumar

I have created separate rule one for copying the source and another for sibling and it works... Smile

Great!

Normally, if a certain model element is not serialized, that's because it's not contained by anything in the resource. To be serialized, there has to be a containment path from the root of the model to the model element. I suppose that might have been the issue.
