How Mapping Diagrams are Generated to xUML

(1)

mapAddress direct initialScript

Initializations

Initialize _self buffer node for non-static mappings. This is needed to make the self context available in the implementation of the execution diagram.

(2)

• concatName

• concatName

• convertToString

• splitStreet

Operation calls

Call all defined mapping operations one by one in an unspecific order.

(3)

mapAddress direct finalScript

Store data

The following is mapped in this step:

• Literal values defined on the mapping diagram, e.g. Main Address.

• Direct mappings source → target.

• Results from the mapping operations to their output target.

The mappings are performed according to the following rules

• Classes first, then sub-properties, see (a) and (b) in the script below.

• Property values in their order within the target class.

create procurementAddress;
set procurementAddress.addressType = 'Main Address';
set procurementAddress.name = xuml_procurementAddress_name;
set procurementAddress.number = xuml_procurementAddress_number;

// (a)
set procurementAddress.position = position;
// (b)
set procurementAddress.position.organizationLevel = xuml_procurementAddress_position_organizationLevel;

set procurementAddress.postcode = xuml_procurementAddress_postcode;
set procurementAddress.street = xuml_procurementAddress_street;
set procurementAddress.supervisor.costCenter = self.superior.costCenter;
set procurementAddress.supervisor.department = self.superior.department;
set procurementAddress.supervisor.name = xuml_procurementAddress_supervisor_name;
set procurementAddress.town = self.city;
set procurementAddress.volunteer = false;

(1)

mapEmployeeToAddress initialScript

Initializations

• Initialize _self buffer node for non-static mappings. This is needed to make the self context available in the implementation of the execution diagram.

• Get the array element that matches the provided mapping condition (stored to xuml_employeeAddress_where_1 in the example above).

(2)

• concatStreetAndNumber

• splitName

Operation calls

All defined mapping operations are called one by one in an unspecific order.

(3)

mapEmployeeToAddress finalScript

Store data

• Assign all literal values defined on the mapping diagram.

• Assign the results from the mapping operations to their output target.

• Perform the direct mappings source → target.

• Map the data from the conditional array element.

(1)

xuml_self_orderPos_forEach_initScript

Loop initializations

• Initialize the loop index.

• Create a work array.

Operation calls

All defined mapping operations are called one by one in an unspecific order. This is not visible in this example because it has no operations calls outside the foreach.

(2)

Loop  over array elements

(3)

xuml_self_orderPos_forEach_getCurrentEltScript

Get next array element

(4)

• mapArticleData

• mapIndexToPosNo

• convertStringToFloat

Operation calls for the current array element

All defined mapping operations are called one by one in an unspecific order.

(5)

xuml_self_orderPos_finalScript

Store data of the current array element

• Assign all literal values defined within the foreach mapping.

• Assign the results from the mapping operations to their output target.

• Perform the direct mappings source → target.

• Map the work array to the target output array.

(6)

xuml_self_orderPos_forEach_incrementScript

Increase array index

(7)

mapToErp_finalScript

Store data

• Assign all literal values defined on the mapping diagram.

• Assign the results from the mapping operations to their output target.

• Perform the direct mappings source → target.

• Map the work array to the target output array.
