public interface Transformation
extends AbstractTransformation

This type is used for generic transformations such as stored procedures.

Attributes of Transformation are:

Associations of Transformation are:

Usage

To create an instance of this Transformation, use the factory create methods.
Example: create a Transformation with name "Transformation_Object", in repository "AAAAAAAA".
 // create a store to contain your objects for this change. If you do not have an existing object
 // or store to use.  You may obtain the store from another object by using Object.getObjectStore().
 MdFactory factory; //where "factory" is a valid MdFactory instance
 MdObjectStore objectStore = factory.createObjectStore();
 Transformation myObject = (Transformation) factory.createComplexMetadataObject(objectStore, "Transformation_Object", MetadataObjects.TRANSFORMATION, "AAAAAAAA");
 myObject.updateMetadataAll();  // Write object to server
 objectStore.dispose();  // dispose of the object store if it is no longer needed
 

Behavior

Dependencies

This class depends on objects being contained in an MdObjectStore. Object stores should be disposed of when they are no longer needed as this will help clean up memory. Disposing an object store will dispose of all objects contained within that store.
