Creating the COBOL-dependent layer

To create the COBOL-dependent layer, you first define a transformation configuration.
The configuration specifies parameters of the transformation and is then used to launch the transformation. To create a transformation configuration, complete the following steps:
  1. In the modeling window, click File > New > Transformation Configuration.
  2. The New Transformation Configuration window opens. In this window, you can select the transformation.
  3. Under Forward transformation, highlight Abstract UML to COBOL-oriented UML.
  4. Click Finish.

This window shows the menu selection File > New > Transformation Configuration.

The New Transformation Configuration window is shown.
Next, select the source and the target of the transformation. The source of the transformation is the language-independent model (the file has an emx extension). Since the transformation creates a new model, you should create a new target container (the file must also have an .emx extension). The wizard creates a .tc file. You will use the .tc file to launch the transformation. To launch the transformation, complete the following steps:
  1. Using the context menu, highlight the .tc file and click Transform > COBOL Transform.
  2. This creates the COBOL-dependent model. In the Project Explorer view under the Models section of your project, you will find the new model produced by the transformation.

The selection Transform > COBOL Transform is shown.
