M2M Importer dialog window

Once the dialog window is displayed, there are different settings to launch the transformation:

Select the path of the model to import

This option is to select the file of the model to import in Rhapsody. The button ‘Browse…’ open a pop-up to navigate in the Windows browser to select the file path.

Root package for the target model

The value of this field is the name of the Rhapsody package where the model to import will be created. If the textfield is empty, the target model is directly written at the Rhapsody project level.

Generate traceability report

This option is to enable the generation of a ImportTraceabilityReport. This report is a Rhapsody Table which displays 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 Rhapsody model. It contains the traceability report:

Check Model

This option allows to launch the model checker before the transformation. If the model checker detects some errors, then the transformation will not be done.

Merge Method

The Merge Method option allows to merge the imported model with a previously imported 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

Launch transformation

To launch the transform, click on "Import model" button.

At the end of the transformation, all of the options selected by the user on dialog window are saved as properties on the M2MImportRuleset. These properties are described here M2MImportRuleset settings.
