Getting the current rule's name [message #897263]

Good afternoon.
I have a question regarding the access to metadata from a
transformation. I want to base the generation of some names on the
current rule's name, but I want to specify this in a super rule, and use
inheritance.

So, the question would be, is there a reflective instruction (or some
other means) to access the current rule's metadata?
I'm sorry if this is stated somewhere in the documentation, but I was
not able to find it.

Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
JP

Hi,
I know you can get the Module name using thisModule.toString() but getting the rule name isn't possible I think. Instead you can use a work around. Assuming the usual naming convention for rules of SourceElementName+'To'+TargetElementName you can use the following generic ATL to get the rule name Smile

(s.oclType().name+'To'+t.oclType().name)

Ronan
