Developing
- Model driven development of EGL code
- Generating source code from UML models
  You can use transformations to create source code from a UML model. First you must create a transformation parameters file and then apply those parameters to a model.
- Developing EGL applications
  Enterprise Generation Language (EGL) is a programming language that you can use to focus on business problems instead of software technologies. Within the Rational® development environment, you can use EGL wizards and other tools to write complex applications with minimal effort.
- Source code analysis with code review
  With code review, you can create configurations of coding rules for EGL source code. You can then run the configurations to check the source code for consistency with the rules.
- Responsive Design Support in RBD
  What is Responsive Design? Responsive design is an approach for creation of web pages that automatically scales its content and elements to match the screen size on which it is viewed. So, instead of designing multiple websites for different devices with variable screen sizes, we can design just one website that scales up or down automatically, to match the device it’s being viewed on.

Primitive type transformation parameters

You can use primitive type transformation parameters to extend the UML model.

The following table lists the parameters that apply to the UML class element.

EGL Type: Specifies the EGL primitive type that will be used to represent this Property. Each primitive type in the list is mapped to a SQL Type based on the value of the Target database type Model parameter. Default value is the EGL String type, mapped to a VARCHAR(128) database column.
Length: Specifies the length of the EGL type, if appropriate.
Decimals: Specifies the decimals of the EGK type, if appropriate.
Mask: Specifies the mask of an Interval EGL type.
