[gme-users] RE: ESML integration questions

[Aditya Agrawal]

Hi George,

Here is the answer your question regarding opening old models in the new
paradigm. The old paradigm in this case is ESML and the new one is CCM.
The CCM metamodel contains the ESML metamodel as a library. 

Now if you want to open ESML models in CCM you have to do the following.


1. Unregister the ESML paradigm
3. Now try to open the mga files in GME. GME will give the message
"Project could not access its paradigm." And then it will ask you to
choose the paradigm. Here you can specify CCM and them GME will be able
to open it the models in the CCM paradigm.

Thanks,
Adi

Subject: ESML integration questions

Hi Sandeep,

In the course of our CoSMIC/ESML integration, a couple of questions have
come up that you can probably help us with. It would be great if you
could
give us your thoughts on these issues:

1. If we create a new meta-model, attach ESML as a library, and build
our
CCM meta-models in that, will we be able to open old ESML models in that
new
paradigm? I have not been able to do so. It seems to me that attaching
ESML
as a library won't actually make it part of the paradigm. Is that
correct?
[SN] No, this is not correct. Once you attach ESML as a library (or
import it) into a paradigm it is part of the new paradigm and it should
be able to open existing ESML models. I would recommend getting together
with Adi to figure out what is wrong -

2. Using GME 4, I took the ESML meta-model and added a new paradigm
sheet
that has several references to ESML elements, such as ComponentType. I
can
successfully import old ESML models into this new paradigm, but GME
crashes
every time I try to open an Interactions model. Any idea what could be
causing this?
[SN] No, I have no idea, without looking at your meta-model/model it is
difficult for me to guess why it is crashing. We (MoBIES team) have not
switched over to GME4 yet. Feng is primarily responsible for maintaining
ESML, and perhaps she can help you look it over -

I can send you my new ESML meta-model that's helpful. Thanks for your
time.
[SN] Please do send it over, and we can look at it further.

George
[SN] Best Wishes,
Sandeep
