Dear all,

I created a SysML profile with Papyrus (model.profile), and I see the following piece of text when I open the corresponding uml file (model.profile.uml) with a text editor (note that, since I'm not allowed to use links, I changed http to hxxp):

...
<uml:Profile xmi:version="2.1" xmlns:xmi="hxxp://schema.omg.org/spec/XMI/2.1" xmlns:ecore="hxxp://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" xmlns:uml="hxxp://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML" xmi:id="_ewBk4cXIEeGdMYY2bxmSkw" name="profile">
  <eAnnotations xmi:id="_wdZwIMXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw" source="hxxp://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.0.0/UML">
    <contents xmi:type="ecore:EPackage" xmi:id="_wdZwIcXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw" name="profile" nsURI="hxxp:///schemas/profile/_wdWFwMXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw/0" nsPrefix="profile">

      </eClassifiers>
      ...
    </contents>
  </eAnnotations>
...


I also applied the profile above to a "dummy" Papyrus model, statically. This is what I get when I open the corresponding uml file with a text editor:

...
<xmi:XMI xmi:version="2.1" xmlns:xmi="hxxp://schema.omg.org/spec/XMI/2.1" xmlns:xsi="hxxp://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ecore="hxxp://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" xmlns:profile="hxxp:///schemas/profile/_wdWFwMXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw/0" xmlns:uml="hxxp://www.eclipse.org/uml2/3.0.0/UML" xsi:schemaLocation="hxxp:///schemas/profile/_wdWFwMXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw/0 ../myProfile/model.profile.uml#_wdZwIcXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw">

...

    <profileApplication xmi:id="_Izw9YMXSEeGdMYY2bxmSkw">
      <eAnnotations xmi:id="_I0YBYMXSEeGdMYY2bxmSkw" source="hxxp://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.0.0/UML">
        <references xmi:type="ecore:EPackage" href="../myProfile/model.profile.uml#_wdZwIcXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw"/>
      </eAnnotations>
      <appliedProfile href="../myProfile/model.profile.uml#_ewBk4cXIEeGdMYY2bxmSkw"/>
    </profileApplication>

...


What I'm trying to do is to pass a profile instance to a QVTo transform as an additional transformation parameter. The problem is that I can't understand how its corresponding modeltype should look like. My first attempt was

modeltype myProfile uses "hxxp:///schemas/profile/_wdWFwMXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw/0"; // i.e. the nsURI in model.profile.uml

but Eclipse shows the following error: "Failed to resolve metamodel 'hxxp:///schemas/profile/_wdWFwMXJEeGdMYY2bxmSkw/0'"

I also tried several different combinations with the values extracted from the piece of texts above, without success.

I finally tried the procedure described here: hxxp://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/32162/104417/#msg_104417, which is very close to what I'm trying to achieve. Again, no success. I always get the "Failed to resolve metamodel" error message.

How am I supposed to pass an instance of a custom SysML (or UML) profile to a QVTo transform as an additional transformation parameter?

Thanks for your help,

Hi

A profile is just a UML model with a particular purpose and so a
different mix of typical content, but it's still just a UML model.

So I would expect to treat a profile instance in the same way as any
other UML model instance. pass them as input models not parameters.
