Setting up data destinations

There are currently three destinations available:

Naming

All entities and attributes try to use the display name to sync the model (Neutral language xx-XX). If the display name cannot be found, the general name is used.

There is a general setting for all destinations to replace characters or parts of the used name for all objects.

Name replacement:

Replacing names of entities or attributes by regular expressions. The format to describe a regular expression is /<pattern>/<replacement>/. This format is similar to the Linux command line tool SED (Stream Editor), except for s at the beginning and flags at the end, which are currently not supported. Multiple expressions can be defined, they should be separated by ;. If ; or / are used in the pattern or the replacement, they should be preceded by \.

Here are some examples:

  • /a/b/: Replaces all characters of a with b.

  • /[[:lower]]/X/: Replaces all lower case characters with X.

  • /Test/Test1/: Replaces all occurrences of Test with Test1.

  • /^a/X/: Replaces only the first occurrence of a with X.

  • /[a-c]/X/: Replaces all occurrences of a, b or c with X.

  • /\d/X/: Replaces all numbers with X.

  • /_/\//: Replaces all occurrences of _ with /.

  • /\;/:/: Replaces all occurrences of ; with :.

  • /a/b/;/c/d/: Replaces all characters of a with b and c with d.
