MDA Transformation Newb
« on: June 29, 2011, 03:36:16 pm »
Is there a particular reason why transformations are only done from the general to the more specific: PIM -> PSM?

I ask because I'd like to know what processes people are using to keep the changes made to the PSM represented in the PIM.

What do people do? Do they just abandon their PIM after they build the PSM? Do they not maintain the logical model after they build the physical? How do they support the development lifecycle?

Does anyone have an answer?

The reason it's generally done that way is because it's easier to add platform specific information than it is to abstract it out.

The ideal workflow is to only change your PIM and generate it to each required platform each time.
