Save transformed project in different location

This option is to not modify the source project and transform the model in new project on the path defined in this field. The button ‘Browse…’ open a pop-up to navigate in the Windows browser to select the target path.

Merge methods

This option can be used if the target project is saved in another location. It allows to merge the transformed model with a previously transformed model. Two possible methods can be used:

None: no merge
Auto: the merge is done automatically by M2M tool. The automatic merge adds or removes some elements. It preserves updates which have been made manually, like body implementation, or references to the imported elements.
Manual: the merge is done manually with the diffmerge tool

Display source and target models

This option allows to keep in the transformed project the source and the target model.

Root package for the target model

If the source and the target models are included in the transformed project, the target model is created in a root Package named with the textfield content. If the textfield is empty, the target package name take the source project name.

Generate traceability report

This option is to enable the generation of a TraceabilityReport. This report a Rhapsody Table which display in the first column the source element, then, the target element, and the MappingRule which has been executed.
When this option is enabled, a package named ‘Traceability’ is created in the target model. It contains the traceability report:
