M2M Checker Guide

Once the M2MImportRuleset or M2MExportRuleset has been implemented, it is recommended to launch the M2M Model Checker.
To launch the M2M Checker on all M2MImportRuleset and M2MExportRuleset of the project, click on Tools | Check Model | DefaultConfig:



"DefaultConfig" is the name of the component of the project. A project can contain several components with different names. To launch the M2M Checker on a specific M2MExportRuleset or M2MImportRuleset, select the ruleset of your choice in the browser, and click on Tools | Check Model | Selected Elements

The check results are displayed in the tab "Check model" below:


To execute and display only the M2M Checks, you have to unselect all other Checks. To proceed, click on Tools | Check Model | Configure:



The "Configuration" window of the Component is displayed, and the "Checks" Tab selected. Deselect all checks, and then select only M2M Checks. Click on "OK", and relaunch Checker:

• M2M Profile constraints
  This Check verifies that all M2MImportRuleset and M2MExportRuleset elements have their profile constraints properties not violated. It will check the following properties:
  - Model.Stereotype.Aggregates : it defines the new terms which are allowed to be contained by the element
  - Model.Stereotype.AggregatesMultiplicities : it defines the multiplicity of the new terms which are allowed to be contained by the element
  - Model.Stereotype.AllowedTypes : it defines the new terms which are allowed to type the element
  - Model.Stereotype.Targets : it defines the new terms which are allowed to be targeted by the Dependency
  - Model.Stereotype.Owners : it defines the new terms which are allowed to contain the element
  It is executed on all elements Stereotyped by a M2M Profile Stereotype.
  
  
• M2MImportRuleset and M2MExportRuleset
  This Check verifies if the pre-process and post-process functions which are selected have the correct signature.
  It is executed on all M2MImportRuleset and M2MExportRuleset elements.
  
  
• ImportMappingRule and ExportMappingRule Checks
  This Check verifies if the MappingRule source and target are valid and can be executed by the M2M Engine.
  It is executed on all ImportMappingRule and ExportMappingRule elements.
