Code Engineering Sets

You can manage code engineering through the Code Engineering Sets in the Model Browser. The Code Engineering Sets tree contains the list of all sets created in the project as well as instruments for managing those sets.

Adding a new set

To add a new set

Choose New from the Code Engineering Sets shortcut menu.
Choose the language you want:

- DDL (Cloudscape, DB2, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, Pervasive, Pointbase, PostgreSQL, Sybase). For DDL, the Cameo Data Modeler plugin is required.

Editing sets in the Round Trip Set dialog

To open the Round Trip Set dialog, do one of the following

Right-click the selected set and click Edit in the shortcut menu.
Select the set and press Enter.

The Round Trip Set dialog opens. It allows you to manage entities to be added/removed from your set.

Round Trip Set dialog

Working directory and package specification

Specify the Working Directory for displaying source files. This option indicates files and required sub-directories where a code generation output goes. Type a path manually or browse in the directory tree by clicking the button.
The Working Package box allows you to define any package for reverse output or code generation. A model is reversed or code generated from this specified package.

You can only select or change the working package prior to the addition of files from the working directory to the code engineering set.

Dialog options

Reverse from files
Reverse from DB

Dialog tabs

The Round Trip Set dialog has two tabs: Add Files and Add Data from Model.

If the dialog option is set to Reverse from files, the available tabs are Add Files and Add Data from Model.
If the dialog option is set to Reverse from DB, the available tabs are Retrieve DB info and Add Data from Model.

Add Files tab

The Add Files tab helps you manage the source code files involved in your code engineering set.

Element name	Function
All files	Lists directories with the source files for the set.
Files of type	Contains possible file name extensions for the chosen language.

Retrieve DB info tab

The Retrieve DB info tab helps you manage the database information for the code engineering set.

To add drivers for the database

In the Round Trip Set dialog, with the Reverse from DB option selected, click the Edit button for the Driver files to add the needed drivers according to the database type and version.

You can download the Oracle JDBC driver here and the PostgreSQL JDBC driver here.

Add Data from Model tab

The Add Data from Model tab helps you manage elements located in the UML model.

The All Files list contains the hierarchy of UML model packages with model elements (or other packages) inside. Your code engineering set can be combined from model and code elements. The following buttons are available in the Round Trip Set dialog:

Add	The selected file in the All Files or All Data list is added to the set.
Add All	All files in the opened or selected directory are added to the set.
Add Recursively	All files in the selected directory and its subdirectories are added to the set.
Remove	Removes the selected entity from the set.
Remove All	Removes all entities from the set.
