Multiple ATL files to Single XMI file output possible? [message #1835515]

Dear All,

Is it possible to write multiple A.atl and B.atl and C.atl to a single output.xmi file?

The transformation chain will not be broken (I am cautious about it), However, I need to divide these rules into separate files. All of the rules conform to the same meta-model.

Thank you!

That's a fairly abstract question. The answer is, of course, yes ;-). How depends on how you want to combine A, B, and C:

Are you going to apply A, B, and C together to the same input model? See EMFTVM module import
Are you going to apply A, B, and C to different input models? EMFTVM module import with different input models names in each ATL module
Are you going to apply C to the output of B, and B to the output of A? Transformation chaining, e.g. using Ant or Maven

Cheers,
Dennis

Dear Dennis,

1-) The first comment is my primarily preferred selection. I would like to apply A, B, and C to the same input model to generate an output model as a single output file.
2-) The second comment is my second preferred approach. Still, I might require it in the future.

The important thing is for both approaches the output must be in a single output file.

Thank you! I also send you an image in order to visualize my question since everything is a model :)
