i am trying to do the sample transformation given in atl docu. but i am facing the problem once i run the transformation: File family2person.asm does not exist i dont have any clue what this means. i googled and found that .asm has something to do with assembler language. can anyone help me please, since atl is not that widespread language, forums cannot help me now. first i began the tutorial, then i renamed the .ecore files on the way, can that be the reason? trying to find the original asm file having another one in the hand?
thanks a lot
I had the exact same problem; to solve it, I just created a new ATL-Project, copied the ecore metamodels that I had previously created and then, after creating the "family2person.atl" file, the .asm appeared by itself. From the documentation, it seems that this file is just a compiled version of the ATL file that you create, and is only generated when the atl you provide is correct ( although you should also make sure that your .ecore files pass the validation processes .... mine didn't and I had to adjust the cardinalities of some references, specially the EOpposite ones) ... check out this link, to find some more detailed technical info http://wiki.eclipse.org/ATL/User_Guide_-_The_ATL_Tools#Compiling_an_ATL_file.
