[ATL] Copy entire Model without refining mode [message #754413] Wed, 02 November 2011 09:39 Go to next message

Hi!

I am new in ATL and I have the following situation:

I have two models as input (model A and model B - model A uses Profile, that is in a third model file). I want as output a model C that is the same model A with some new elements and new connectors (I will decide wich new elements checking the model B).

First I tried to use the refining mode, but I face some problems, because this mode don`t work fine with two models as input, and I cannot use the "do" statement (I am not sure if I can access stereotypes outside the do statement).

So as second option I decided to clone the entire model (instead use refining mode) and make the changes that I want.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Andre.

That is possible. The easiest way is probably to write a standard transformation that jut copies every element and than use superimposition (check the wiki if you're not familiar with this) to overwrite rules or add new specific rules.
If you are using uml models there is a UML2Copy.atl transformation written by Dennis Wagelaar, you can use that as a starting point.

Hi,
I have used this transform many times and highly recommend it over using the refining mode. This approach is more flexible and customizable. Great job Dennis. The code is available at http://soft.vub.ac.be/viewvc/UML2CaseStudies/uml2cs-transformations/transformations/UML2Copy.atl?view=log
Regards,
Ronan
