Hi,
I want to create my own specific MTG for a DWH environment, having stereotypes for dimensions, facts, source and so on.
Creating an MTG as such works. I have my own stereotypes in a toolbox and can add them to diagrams.
But extending the table metaclass does seem to break some things.
While it is still possible to assign a database to an instance of my dimension stereotype, which extends UML::table in the MTG, I cannot set a data type (like NUMBER or varchar2) for the columns I add to the dimension instance.
If I cannot set a data type for a column on a table, I cannot define foreign keys on it.
Also, under tagged values of the dimension, I cannot set DBVERSION and OWNER. I can set a TABLESPACE, though.
See the source code for the MTG below.
Is it not possible, what I'm trying to do? Or am I doing something wrong?
TIA,
Andre
