Unique Matched Rule ! [message #538223] Sun, 06 June 2010 17:44 Go to next message

I want to produce a single one element from 2 source elements, I could use "unique lazy rule", but the problem is, there is no place to call it ... so its "un-applicable" ....

For example consider the example of Families to Persons !
rule Member2Male {froms : Families!Member (not s.isFemale())
     to t : Persons!Male (
                  fullName <-s.firstName + ' '+ s.familyName
      )


This rule transforms a Member into a Male, but I want to to transform 2 Members (they have the same name, same properties ...) into 1 same Male ? Now how to do that ??

Your help is much appreciated !

You can have in the from section of the rules multiple elements :

from s : Families!Member, t : Families!Member (s.name = t.name)

Sylvain, Thanks for your reply, but that does not solve the problep, actually that way it creates 4 target elements instead of just 2 !

Any other idead is very welcome !

Using the OCL allInstances in place of match rule, you be able to call
the unique lazy rule ????

That's because you can invert s and t.
Let's say you have two Member A and B.
Then this rule will match s = A, t = B but also, s = B, t = A.

So if you use this solution you have to elaborate a complex filter so that you can't invert both elements if you don't want to.

@Sylvain: That will only lead to more and more complex filter as you said, and frankly, I don't have a clue how to write that filter, so if you have any other solution, I'll be greatful ...

@Vincent: I don't understant your idead, can you give me an example !

Thanks to all of you Smile

You have to take in consideration that a unique called rule only consider the first argument for the unicity.

If you call the same rule with A, B and then B, A it will still execute the rule 2 times (except if this bug has been corrected).
