M2M Export by Command-line

1. Here is the M2M Export command line:

   call_extended "M2M IE Engine" "-m2mMode M2MExporter -filePath 'D:/export.arxml' -ruleset 'Sysml2Arxml' -traceabilityReport true"

   The maximum number of characters of a Rhapsody command-line is 256 including the first part "call_extended "M2M IE Engine". Everything after the 256th characters is not transmitted to the M2M IE Engine.
   
   All arguments are optional, and if there is no ruleset argument, the engine will take the first M2MExportRuleset it found in the model:
   
   • mode ['M2MExporter','M2MImporter']: this argument is used to determine if the M2M IE Engine have to import or export a model.
     
     
   • ruleset [full path name of the M2MExportRuleset in Rhapsody]: this is the full path name of the M2MExportRuleset which must be applied on the model for transformation. A project can contain multiple M2MExportRulesets, so only one must be selected.
     
     
   • filePath [ex:'C:/export.arxml']: this argument is for the path where the model will be exported.
     
     
   • traceabilityReport [‘True’, ‘False’]: this argument is to choose if the transformed project will keep the source model.
     
     
2. Rhapsody commands in a script file
   • The command line must be written in a script file *.txt, and then launched from the Windows Command Prompt. The -f switch can be used to call a script file consisting of a number of commands. Within a script file, there is no need for the "-cmd" before the command name. Comment lines in script files begin with a number sign (#).
     
     
   • Script file example
     

     # This is a sample script file

     setlog d:\log.txt

     open d:\rhapsody\samples\Dishwasher dishwasher.rpy

     call_extended "M2M IE Engine" "-m2mMode M2MExporter -filePath 'D:/export.arxml' -ruleset 'Sysml2Arxml' -traceabilityReport true"

     make

     save

     make

   • Calling a script file

     Or launched with a .bat file which contains the command:
