How to Create Metamodel Extensions
When you create a metamodel extension, it is recommended that you first create a development environment, create the metamodel extension in this environment, then import the extension in a test environment.
Once extensions have been validated in the test environment, you can import them into the production environment.
To create a metamodel extension:
1. Create a development environment and a test environment and initialize the system repository logfiles.
Select a user with rights to modify HOPEX data.2. Create the metamodel extensions in the development environment.
Remember to prefix or suffix the extensions created.3. Export the system repository logfile.
4. Import this logfile in the test environment - with a user with rights to modify HOPEX data - to verify the import result.
5. If there are no rejects, import the logfile again, saving updates.
6. Translate and compile the metamodel in the test environment and verify that extensions function correctly.
7. Import the logfile containing the extensions in the production environment.
When the extensions have been validated, you can import the logfile with your extensions in the production environment, following the procedure described above.
