Invokes the EDMmodelConverter to convert one or more existing data models (source models) in the EDMdatabase. The result of the conversion will normally be a new data model (target model) in the EDMdatabase. Optionally the result of this operation can be added to an existing data model.This operation can be used for model merging, i.e., merge more models to a new model or add the merge result to an existing model. The underlying schema of the target model (target schema) must exist as a dictionary model in the EDMdatabase before the EDMmodelConverter is invoked by this function. Likewise the Express-X schema that defines the conversion process must exist as an Express-X dictionary model before this function can be successfully executed. The function edmiDefineSchema can be used to create a dictionary model of an Express schema in the EDMdatabase and the function edmiDefineSchemaMap can be used to create an Express-X dictionary model in the EDMdatabase. The source model will be unchanged when the conversion process is terminated. The EDMmodelConverter is utilizing the EDMexpressVM to perform the conversion process. To facilitate debugging of the conversion process, many options to trace the conversion process and to log events during the conversion process have been included. Express-X can be used as a programming language for creating, manipulating, and deleting data in any data model in the EDMdatabase that can be accessed by the caller, hence the specified Express-X schema can be successfully interpreted without creating in a new data model. An optional filter controls the logging of the conversion process. This filter is defined by the <declarationsToLog>, <sourceLinesToLog> and <options> arguments. The filter defines the following:

  1. What should be logged
  2. Which part of the Express-X schema should be logged

It is normally important to specify an appropriate logging filter to avoid the log output to fill up your disk.

Arguments


1TypeNameComment
2SdaiString

sourceModelNames

Specifies the names of the source models in the following format: repositoryName.modelName. Such names are case sensitive. When more than one model names are specified, comma or white space should be used as delimiter between each model name.  The source models can be in an opened or closed state. The calling EDMuser must have at least read access to these models.  The order in which the source models are entered in this argument is significant, as the Express-X schema used will require a certain order to produce the expected results. The source models are mapped to the source schema instances in the same order as the declaration of the source schema instances in the GLOBAL declaration in the Express-X schema.

3SdaiString

schemaMapName

Specifies the name of EXPRESS-X schema of interest. This EXPRESS-X schema must exist as an EXPRESS-X dictionary model in the EDMdatabase. EXPRESS-X schema names are case insensitive. EXPRESS-X schema names are unique in an EDMdatabase.

4SdaiString

targetModelName

Specifies the name of the target model to populate with the result from the conversion in the following format: repositoryName.modelName. Such model names are case sensitive.  There are tree states of the target model:

  1. Not existing – the target model will be created and populated.
  2. Existing – dependent of options, the result of the conversion will be added to the existing target model.
  3. Existing – dependent of options, the target model will be deleted and a new target model will be created and populated by the conversion process.

The model name must start with a letter and the rest of the model name can be any mix of alphanumeric characters and the underscore character. Model names are case sensitive.

5SdaiString

declarationsToLog

Specifies the Express-X declarations that should be executed when logging should be performed, I.e., the part of the schema defined in the <sourceLinesToLog> argument will only be logged when those parts are executed on behalf of the declarations specified in the <declarationsToLog> argument.  Legal Express-X declarations are:

  • Map
  • Compose
  • Statements
  • Rule

An Express-X declaration can be specified by the name, i.e., map name, function name, etc., or by the line number in the source schema where the actual construct is declared. The names of the Express-X constructs are case insensitive. Any number of declarations can be specified. White space and comma can be used as delimiter between each declaration in this argument. The order of the declarations in the input field is insignificant. This argument and the <sourceLinesToLog> argument specifies that only the parts of the schema defined by these arguments should be logged, otherwise the complete schema would be logged when logging is enabled. This argument can be set to NULL meaning that the part of the schema defined in the <sourceLinesToLog> argument should always be logged.

6SdaiString

sourceLinesToLog

Specifies the Express-X source line intervals that should be logged during the conversion process. A source line interval is specified either as the name of a declaration of type: map, compose, statements, function and procedure, or by a single line number or by the first line number and the last line number separated by the hyphen '-' character. Any number of intervals can be specified, the intervals are separated by a comma. The order of the intervals is not significant.
Example: "10, 20-30, 2000 - 2200, 99, Man2Woman"
This argument and the <declarationsToLog> argument specifies that only the parts of the Express-X schema defined by these arguments should be logged, otherwise the complete schema would be logged when logging is enabled. This argument can be set to NULL meaning that all part of the schema will be logged.

7SdaiString

logFile

Specifies the name of the file that will hold the log information. This file can be an existing file or the name of a file that will be created by the conversion process. Default file extension is ".log". This option is only valid when the option LOG_TO_FILE is set.

8SdaiInteger

maxLogFileSize

Specifies an integer value that is the maximum number of bytes the specified <logFile> can hold before the <logFile> is closed. Specifying the value 0 (zero) means that no size limit for the <logFile> is defined. This argument is only effective when the <logFile> argument is specified and the [LOG_TO_FILE] option is set.

9SdaiString

userOutputFile

Specifies the name of a file that will be used to receive the result of executing the xpxPrintf and xpxOutputValue function in the actual Express-X schema. The specified file can be an existing file or the name of a file that will be created by the EDMmodelConverter. The default file extension is ".txt".  This argument is only effective when the [USER_OUTPUT_TO_FILE] option is set.

10SdaiInteger

options

Specifies the EDMmodelConverter options enabled in the current invocation of the EDMmodelConverter. The <options> value should be defined as a bitwise OR between the options to enable. All the option names are defined in the header file sdai.h .  Default options are enabled when the value of <options> is set to zero.

11SdaiModel

targetModelId

The address of a variable that will receive the numeric instanceID that uniquely identifies the model (target model) in the EDMdatabase populated by the edmiConvertModelsBN operation.  The edmiConvertModelsBN operation can be successfully performed even though no target model is created during the conversion process.

12SdaiInteger

userDefinedStatus

The address of a variable that will receive a "termination reason" from the actual conversion process. This "termination reason" can be used to communicate the "termination reason" of the actual conversion process to the calling application.  The "termination reason" is set in the Express-X schema by the xpxTerminateMapping function.

13SdaiInteger

nbWarnings

Address of a variable that will receive the number of warnings detected during the conversion/merging of the specified model(s).

14SdaiInteger

nbErrors

Address of a variable that will receive the number of errors detected during the conversion/merging of the specified model(s).

Return Value


Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include' : User 'null' does not have permission to view the page 'US:_r_EDMInterface'.

 

Options


  

1OptionComment
2

USER_OUTPUT_TO_FILE

Specifies that the result from the Express-X functions xpxPrintf and xpxOutputValue will be written to the file specified in the <userOutputFile> argument.  When none of the options [USER_OUTPUT_TO_FILE] or [USER_OUTPUT_TO_STDOUT] are set, then the output from these function will be written to the actual <logFile> if defined, else the output from these functions will be written to the EDMinterface current output device.

3

USER_OUTPUT_TO_STDOUT

Specifies that the result from the Express-X functions xpxPrintf and xpxOutputValue will be written to the EDMinterface current output device.  When none of the options [USER_OUTPUT_TO_FILE] or [USER_OUTPUT_TO_STDOUT] are set, then the output from this function will be written to the actual <logFile> if defined. Otherwise the output will be written to the EDMinterface current output device.

4

USE_EXISTING_TARGET_MODEL
