Chapter 11 Managing Transformations
Selecting transformations for generation
A transformation profile contains transformations which can be executed before and after generation.
The Extended Model Definitions page in the generation dialog box lets you select extended model definitions for the target model. The selected extended model definitions will influence the display of post generation transformations.
The Pre-generation and Post-generation pages display the following information:
- In the left pane you can select transformations profiles. The Target column indicates in which extended model definition the transformation profile is defined. If you deselect a profile checkbox, none of its transformations will be executed. You can drag and drop profiles to modify transformation execution order
- In the right pane you can select transformations from a selected profile
For more information on pre and post generation options, see the "Pre-generation" and "Post-generation" sections.
Transformation execution order
During generation, transformations are executed in the following order:
- The order of profiles in the pre and post generation pages (remember you can drag and drop profiles in this page)
- The order of transformations in the profile itself
- The order in which objects are treated in the model, that is to say beginning at the model level and recursing into sub-packages
To select transformations for generation:
- Select Tools→Generate Model.
The Model Generation Options dialog box appears.
- Click the Extended Model Definitions tab to select extended model definitions in the corresponding page.
- Click the Pre-generation tab to display the list of profiles in the extended model definition.
- Select or deselect profiles and transformations.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 in the Post-generation page.
- Click OK in the Model Generation Options dialog box.
