Transform Template Parameter Substitution

If you want to provide access in a transformation template to data concerning the transformation of a Template Binding connector's binding parameter substitution in the model, you can use the Template Parameter substitution macros.

Intermediary Language

Template Parameter Substitutions are represented in the Intermediary language as:
 

   TemplateParameterSubstitution

   {

 Formal { FormalProperties }

 Actual { ActualProperties }

   }

 

For example:
 

   TemplateParameterSubstitution

   {

 Formal

 {

     name=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionFormal%%qt%

         }

 Actual

 {

     name=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionActual%%qt%

             %TRANSFORM_CLASSIFIER("Class", parameterSubstitutionActualClassifier)%

         }

   }

 

 

Formal Properties or Actual Properties

 

FormalProperties and ActualProperties are zero, or one instance of one of the following properties:

·name
·classifier

 

Transform of Parameter Substitution Actual parameter

If the Actual parameter is assigned a String Expression, it will transform as Actual name. You can assign the Actual Classifier if you know the GUID:

   TemplateParameterSubstitution

   (

          Formal

 {

     name=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionFormal%%qt%

         }

         Actual

         {

             name=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionActual%%qt%

     classifier=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionActualClassifier%%qt%

         }

    }

 

If you want the Actual parameter to be transformed so that its Classifier is assigned with an element that is transformed, then use TRANSFORM_CLASSIFIER or TRANSFORM_REFERENCE, as shown:
 

   TemplateParameterSubstitution
   {

          Formal

         {

     name=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionFormal%%qt%

         }

         Actual

         {

             name=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionActual%%qt%

     %TRANSFORM_CLASSIFIER("Class", parameterSubstitutionActualClassifier)%

 }

   }

 

Or

 

   TemplateParameterSubstitution

   {

          Formal

         {

     name=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionFormal%%qt%

         }

         Actual

         {

             name=%qt%%parameterSubstitutionActual%%qt%

     %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE("Class", parameterSubstitutionActualClassifier)%

         }

   }
