You can run a transformation on
an entire model or project, or on a subset of elements in a model
or project to generate the output that you expect. You can run a transformation
on the source that you specify in the transformation configuration,
or you can override the specified source by selecting elements in
the model or project and then choosing a transformation configuration
to apply.
About this task
Before
you can run a transformation, you must create a transformation configuration.
When you apply a transformation configuration, an instance of the
transformation is created and the transformation runs with the properties
that the configuration defines.
If you select source elements in the model instead
of using the transformation configuration, the source elements that
you select override the source model or elements specified in the
transformation configuration. The transformation
configuration is not affected and the source that you specify on the Source
and Target page of the transformation configuration editor
or in the New Transformation Configuration wizard does not change.
To run a transformation,
complete one of the following steps:- To run the transformation on the source
specified in the configuration, depending on the view that you are
working in, complete one of the following steps:
- In
the navigation view, right-click a transformation
configuration (.tc) file; then click Transform and
click a transformation.
- In the Pattern Explorer view,
right-click a transformation; then click Run Transformation.
In the Select configuration dialog box, specify
the transformation configuration to run, and click OK.
Tip: You
can also run a transformation from the transformation configuration
editor. On the
Main page, click
Run.
- To specify a different source on which
to run the transformation, in the Modeling perspective,
select and right-click elements in the source model or project; then
click Transform, click a transformation configuration,
and click a transformation. The transformation configuration file
must be in the same project as the elements that you select.
Tip: To run this transformation
again, click . The transformation
uses the same source elements from when you last ran the transformation.
