Running transformation configurations

You can run a transformation configuration on an entire UML model or on a subset of model elements in a model to generate output such as code. A transformation configuration is an instance of a transformation that is configured with information that is common to all transformations such as a unique name, the source, and the target of the transformation. A transformation configuration can also include properties that are specific to a given transformation. When you run a transformation configuration, an instance of the transformation is created and runs with the properties that you define in that configuration. When you run a particular transformation configuration, the transformation uses the information that you provide to generate the output that you expect.

You must be in the Modeling perspective.
To run a transformation configuration:
  1. In the Model Explorer view, select the model elements to transform.
    Note: A model element that is contained by another model element, such as a component or collaboration, is not transformed unless you select it.
  2. Click Modeling > Transform > Configure Transformations.
  3. In the Configure Transformations window, from the Transformations/Configurations list, select a transformation configuration.
  4. Click Run.
    Tip: To run this transformation configuration again, click Modeling > Transform > Run Last Executed.
