Creating a Transformation Profile

Chapter 4 Managing Profiles

Creating a Transformation Profile

A transformation profile is a group of transformations applied during model generation when you want to apply changes to objects in the source or target models.

You define a transformation profile in the Transformation Profiles category of an extended model definition (see the "Transformation profile category" section in the "Extended Model Definitions Reference Guide" chapter). Each profile is identified by the model in which the current extended model definition is defined, a model type, a family and a subfamily.

To create a transformation profile:

[if the Transformation Profiles category is not present] Right-click the root node, select Add Items from the contextual menu, select Transformation Profiles and click OK to create this folder beneath the root node.

Right click the Transformation Profiles folder, and select New from the contextual menu. A new transformation profile is created in the folder.

Define the appropriate properties and add one or more transformations using the Add Transformations tool on the Pre-generation or Post-generation tabs. These transformations should have been previously defined in the Profile\Transformations category.
