Getting started with the Demo
How to use
After successfully installing the OTIF framework you shall execute the
following steps.
Start Backplane from:
Start
Menu/All Programs/OTIF/Start Backplane
You have to register the Demo workflow into the Backplane server.
-
Open
Start Menu/All Programs/OTIF/ Workflows/Demo Workflow
- Open the Diagram model
under Demo Workflow in the GME application.
- Run WFL_interpereter from
GME. There is shortcut to this represented by a W icon in GME
interpreter panel.
- Use blank password to Backplane.
At this point the OTIF framework is running with the configuration of the
Demo tool chain, which is an identical transformation on a model written in the
Matlab paradigm shipped with this demo.
- You may click on the
Generic ToolAdaptor application. You can publish or fetch with this
application any kind of document which is written in a paradigm registered in
the Backplane server.
- First login with a
ToolAdaptor type to the Backplane server. Your Generic ToolAdaptor will act
like the specified ToolAdaptor type.
- Use the Publish
button to publish a document. You can select the appropriate paradigm and
fill out the parameters field.
- Use the Subscribe
button to subscribe to a paradigm. After subscription you will be notified
if a document arrives.
- Use the Unsubscribe button to unsubscribe from
a paradigm.
Let's see an example:
- In the first step you may publish:
- the matlab_sample.xml file (login with the
MATLAB_PUBLISHER ToolAdaptor type)
- In the next step you may subscribe to
- the MATLAB paradigm (login with the MATLAB_RECEIVER
ToolAdaptor type)
- After the notification arrives you may save the
corresponding document in xml format.
Dependencies
This package depends on (and fully compatible with):
Directory structure
/bin |
binary executables |
/bin/paradigms |
paradigm files |
/bin/translators |
translator applications |
/Documents |
MATLAB metamodel and the Demo workflow tool chain file |
/Samples |
matlab sample files to test the OTIF framework |
- /bin/paradigms
directory: you may find the demo MATLAB paradigm file which is used by the
example application.
- /bin/translators
directory: you may find the demo translator applications:
- MatlabIdentical.exe translates documents from Matlab
paradigm to Matlab paradigm without any modification.
- /Documents
directory: there is the the Demo_Workflow.xml ESML workflow tool chain file.
- /Samples directory: you can find a matlab xml
sample file and the belonging xsd file
