[great-users] Need to compile only the relevant parts in model transformations

[Gürkan Özhan]

Dear All,
    I am not sure, but a similar mail might have been posted to the
list before. Therefore my apologies if the same question was arised,
but I am really frustrated with the time it takes in my model
transformations. My source and target metamodels are quite big (each
about 4-5 Mbytes of mga files). Moreover my transformation definitions
are also considerably large, and seem to grow even further. For the
time being, only the compilation of the metamodels and the model
transformation definitions when executing the GReAT master interpreter
on my computer takes roughly about 10 minutes. I am desperately
seeking to shorten this painful process. The most obvious efficiency
to achieve is to avoid the re-compilation of the source and target
metamodels each time a change pertaining to the rule definitions is
made. I would be grateful if somebody provides me an advice on this.
Any other hints and tips to reduce model-to-execution time is
appreciated
   Best regards.
