Create Static Element List
Function:
The Create Static Element List tool is used to create a new AWM element by giving them the property values defined in its complex element attribute.
The Create Static Element List tool contains 1 to n complex attributes. For each complex attribute, a new AWM element is added to the element list file output parameter of the tool. Within the complex attribute the match name of the element has to be defined. For each complex attribute 0 to n properties can be defined. Each property contains a property value. Each property value is added in the order they are defined in the model to the element defined in the file output parameter of the Create Static Element List tool.
Parameters:
| Parameter # | I/O | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 [M] | O | File | An element list which can be used to create elements. The element list has to be defined as an input stream in table format. |
Relationship: Create Static Element List has Element
| Attribute | Type | Description |

| Match name | String | Match name of the new AWM element. This is written as the first value of the entry into the file output parameter of the Create Static Element List tool. |

A property value of the new AWM element. The value is written as a value of the element’s property as defined in the file output parameter of the Create Static Element List tool. |
Example
The Create Static Element List tool is suitable to define the root elements of a tree as normally there is no connection to the target system at this point. The usage of the tool is shown in the standard SVN model. On the root level of the SVN model two entries should be shown:
- SVN Repositories
- Working Copies
There are element types for both entries defined in the SVN model:
The property SVN_PROP_ELE_ElementType is the Element Type property of the SVN model. This means that in this property the match name of the element type is provided by the tool.
The tool enables you to get the root folders of the SVN model, which is modeled as follows:
The tool is an implementation of the AWM Create Static Element List tool, returning two entries. The first has the match name SVN_REPOSITORIES (match name of element type SVN_ELE_SVNRepositories), the second has the match name WORKING_COPIES (match name of element type SVN_ELE_WorkingCopies). For both entries an additional attribute value is returned (SVN Repositories for the first and Working Copies for the second).
The result of the tool is returned in the file descriptor SVN_FD_ELE_SVNRepositories-WorkingCopies of type InputStream and
structure Table. The definition of the file descriptor is as follows:
The action SVN_ACT_ROOT_GetRootFolders using this tool is modelled as root containers action of the SVN application:
