Generating a Volume

After you described the Volume in the Volume editor, you must generate it.

Procedure

  1. Right-click a Volume instance in the Design Explorer view and select Generate > Volume generation.
  2. In the wizard that opens, select the format and the output location of the generated Volume.
    • Volume generation format
      The following two formats are available for the file that is generated from the Volume:
      • XML: This format displays the names of the descriptions and fields according to the MAF (Model Access Facilities) model.
      • HTML: This format makes it easier to read the generated result. The names of the descriptions and fields are identical to the names that are displayed in the Rational Programming Patterns interface. It includes a table of contents with active links. The table of contents is followed by the instances and the descriptions that constitute the Volume.
    • Output folder / file
      You must specify where the generated file is to be produced:
      • You can generate it in your local workspace. Select Enter or select the workspace parent folder. Indicate the output folder that will contain the generated file. You must also indicate a file name in the Workspace File name field. Its extension must correspond to the selected generation format. You will be able to see the content of the generated file by right-clicking it and selecting the appropriate editor in the Project Explorer view.
      • You can also generate outside the local workspace. Select Select file to generate to and enter or select a folder. You must also specify a file name with the appropriate extension.
