Add Import/Export Scripts

1

In your preferred editor, create an XSLT to convert from the source format (as listed on the 'Publish Model Package' dialog) into the target format you are generating.

2

In Enterprise Architect, open the Scripter window and create a script under your preferred script engine as a Normal script.

Cut and paste the XSLT into the script editor.

3

Add the script to your MDG Technology, in the MDG Technology Creation Wizard.

4

Make any additions to the technology .mts file you require, then use the MDG Technology Creation Wizard again to fully generate the technology .xml file.

Open the technology .xml file (not the .mts file) in a text editor and locate the <Script section.

5

Edit the <Script line to set the appropriate name, type and language:

• name is the technology option text to display in the 'Publish > Technologies' ribbon panel
• type is the word 'Publish-' followed by the name of the file format to export, as listed on the 'Publish Model Package' dialog
• language is XSLT

For example:

     <Script

          name="YourTechnology"

          type="Publish-UML 2.1(XMI 2.1)"

          language="XSLT">

     <Content

          xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes" dt:dt="bin.base64">

     </Content>

     </Script>

Save the MDG technology .xml file, and deploy it on your system.

For example:

     <Script

          name="YourTechnology"

          type="Import-UML 2.1(XMI 2.1)"

          language="XSLT">

     <Content

          xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes" dt:dt="bin.base64">
