A mapping model can help you manage
the files that a transformation generates. You can create a mapping
model if you want to specify an alternate name for any of the files
or folders that a transformation generates.
About this task
After you create a mapping model, you
can select and apply it the next time that you run a transformation
on your model. You must create a mapping model in the same workspace
as the selected source model elements.
The
transformation must support mapping.
To
create a mapping model:
Procedure
- In the navigation view, right-click
a transformation configuration file; then click .
- Click the Mapping tab.
- On the Mapping page,
select the Enable mapping check box.
- Click New.
- In the Create a Mapping
Model window, in the File name field,
type a name.
- Click OK. The new mapping model appears in the Project
Explorer view in the folder that you specify.
- On the Mapping page,
click Edit Mapping.
- In the Edit window,
select a model element.
Note: If
you specify an alternate file name for a folder such as a UML package
element, the change affects all resources that the transformation
generates in that folder.
- To specify an alternate name for the generated
element, in the Mapped Name field, type a name.
- Click Apply. The mapped name is displayed in brackets beside the name
of the source element.
- To specify an alternate
name for another generated element, repeat steps 9 and 10.
- Click OK.
- Click .
Results
Note: If you create
a new transformation configuration, you can specify this information
on the Mapping page of the New Transformation Configuration wizard.
