You can run a transformation on an entire model, or on a subset
of elements in a model, to generate the output that you expect. You can run
a transformation on the source model or elements that you specify in the transformation
configuration, or you can override the source specified in the transformation
configuration by selecting elements in the model and then choosing a transformation
configuration to apply.
Before
you can run a transformation, you must create a transformation configuration.
When you apply a transformation configuration, an instance of the transformation
is created and the transformation runs with the properties that the configuration
defines.
If you select
source elements in the model instead of using the transformation configuration,
the source elements that you select override the source model or elements
specified in the transformation configuration. The
transformation configuration is not affected and the source that you specify
on the Source and Target page of the Transformation Configuration
editor or wizard does not change.
To run a transformation, complete one of the following
steps:
- To run the transformation on the source specified
in the configuration, right-click a transformation configuration (.tc) file;
then click Transform and click a transformation.
- To specify a different source on which to
run the transformation, in the Modeling perspective,
select elements in the source model or project; then click and click a transformation.
Tip: To run this transformation
again, click . The transformation uses the
same source elements from when you last ran the transformation.
