Tranformation creating connector, please help!

[manfredw]

Hello everybody,

I'm currently writing a transformation but I cannot seem to get connectors being created between the transformed element and the element that it has been transformed from.

This is my context:
I have one use case "Use Case1" and transform it to a requirement "Req_Use Case1". Then I try to link both using this script:

Code: [Select]

Requirement
{
  name = "REQ_%className%"
  notes = "%classNotes%"
  $reqName = "REQ_" + %className%
  
}

Dependency
  {
    %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE($reqName,classGUID)%
    stereotype="transformedFrom"
    Source
    {
      %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE($reqName,classGUID)%
    }
    Target
    {
      GUID=%qt%%classGUID%%qt%
    }
  }
the requirement gets created, however the dependency link does not.
I would be happy if someone could help me!
many thanks in advance,

best regards
Manfred

You're missing a TRANSFORM_REFERENCE in the definition of your requirement, so the source can't be linked.

Also, I strongly recommend you don't include the name of the element in $reqName. It's intended to be a reference to the types of elements created from the transformations. If you include the name it will break if you rename anything.

Code: [Select]

Requirement
{
  name = "REQ_%className%"
  notes = "%classNotes%"
  %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE("Requirement",classGUID)%
  
}

Dependency
  {
    %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE("transformedFrom",classGUID)%
    stereotype="transformedFrom"
    Source
    {
      %TRANSFORM_REFERENCE("Requirement",classGUID)%
    }
    Target
    {
      GUID=%qt%%classGUID%%qt%
    }
  }
