Generating debugging information for C++-to-UML transformations

If a transformation does not generate the output that you expect, you can specify that the transformation generate a log file. A log file provides information about the source elements, the target elements, and the rules that the transformation applies to transform the source elements. If the transformation transforms many elements, you might experience decreased performance while the transformation generates the log file; therefore, you should only generate a log file for debugging purposes.

To generate a log file for a transformation:

In the navigation view, right-click a transformation configuration file; then click Open.
On the Common tab, click Generate debug log.
Click File > Save.

The next time that you run the transformation, the log file is generated as an XML file in the .metadata folder in your workspace.

Note: If you create a new transformation configuration, you can specify this information on the Common page of the New Transformation Configuration wizard.
