Described herein are systems and methods of transforming data models, for example, creating a data warehouse. A directives model may be loaded based upon a parsed directives file. An entity model may be loaded, and tables, attributes, and foreign keys of a data warehouse model may be created based upon the directives model and the entity model. Mappings may be created between tables, columns, and foreign keys of the data warehouse model and entities, attributes, and relationships, respectively, of the entity model. Code to define a data warehouse may be generated based upon the tables, attributes, and foreign keys of the data warehouse model. Code to transfer data from the source data source can be generated based upon the created mappings. A lineage report can be generated that provides information identifying a corresponding source for each table and column in the data warehouse.

Data model transformation

One or more model elements may be extracted from a model. Coding patterns may be generated based on the extracted model elements. The coding patterns may be translated into statements, such as Structured Query Language (SQL) statements, which may be executed to instantiate at least a portion of a database. The database may be used to store, edit and/or query data that is arranged according to the model. The model may define a modeling language specification, such that the stored data may define various models that comply with the modeling language specification. Accordingly, the database may be queried to analyze the contents of the modeling-language compliant models.

Databases from models

One embodiment may be practiced in a computing environment and includes method acts for creating a new component model from an existing component model. The method includes accessing an existing component definition. The existing component definition is included in an existing component schema, which includes definitions of configuration parameters defined for the existing component including defining that one or more parameters are further configurable. Definitions of the one or more parameters that are defined as being further configurable are refined. The refined definitions for the one or more parameter values are stored in a refined schema defining refinements of the component definition, without including the existing component schema. The refined schema is stored separately from the existing component schema.

A massage tool and method for the treatment of trigger points and other soft tissue disorders on the human body is claimed. The tool comprises a plunger slidingly and sealingly disposed within a hollow sleeve. When the sleeve is held against a trigger point or otherwise affected area on the human body and the plunger is withdrawn, a negative or vacuum pressure of variable intensity and duration is created within the sleeve. When the plunger is depressed, the user can apply direct variable momentary pressure on the trigger point or otherwise affected area. Repeated cycles of direct momentary pressure and vacuum pressure help to resolve the soft tissue disorder and alleviate associated pain, which facilitates healing.

Example embodiments address current problems associated with changes in service contracts by providing automated mechanisms to update portions of an existing service implementation. For example, one mechanism modifies an implementation's skeleton (e.g., methods, method signatures, data structures, etc.) in order to conform to changes to an NPDL (e.g., WSDL) contract. In such an embodiment, the developer may only need to make the necessary changes, if any, to the business logic, which typically will not be known from the contract definition. Accordingly, such automatic modifications to the implementation facilitate a developer's adopting a contract based approach to web service development.

Conforming web services to an updated contract

Systems and methods for designing systems that include computer applications hosted on hosting environments are disclosed. The hosting environments are modeled to include hosting environment settings and constraints placed on applications. The applications are also modeled to include application settings and constraints placed on the hosting environments. Hosting environment and application models are then used to validate designs by confirming that settings are in compliance with the constraints.

Settings and constraints validation to enable design for operations

A removable floor cover formed of one or more sections of a durable fabric is installed over the existing floor or carpeted areas of a recreational vehicle to protect the existing floor or carpet from dirt and wear. A plurality of strips of a fabric type hook and loop fastener are secured onto the underside of the floor cover in spaced relation positioned inwardly from and parallel to the peripheral edges of the cover and the peripheral edges outward of the fasteners are folded upward to reside against one or more walls of the area being covered. In carpeted areas, the fastener hook elements are releasably engaged with the fibers of the existing carpet when the cover is pressed thereon to maintain the cover on the carpeted area. In un-carpeted areas, a plurality of strips of the mating loop element of the fastener are secured onto the floor surface inwardly and closely adjacent to at least one wall of the floor area covered and positioned to correspond with the strips of the hook elements at the peripheral edges of said floor cover whereby the hook elements are releasably engaged with the loop elements to maintain said cover on the floor surface. The cover may be made in several overlapping sections with additional strips of the fastener elements secured on the underside of the cover and/or the floor at selected locations to maintain the cover on the floor or carpeted areas.
