padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel Class

Namespace: padv.builtin.query
Superclasses: padv.Query, padv.builtin.query.FindArtifacts

Query for finding models with project label

Description

The padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel class provides a query that can return each of the models that use the specified project label. You can automatically include or exclude certain files by using the optional name-value arguments. If you do not need to specify a project label, you can use the built-in query padv.builtin.query.FindModels instead.

You can use this query in your process model to find models for your tasks to iterate over.

The padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel class is a handle class.

Creation

Description

query = padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel(categoryName,labelName) creates a query for finding models that use the project label labelName from the project label category categoryName. For more information about project labels, see Add Labels to Project Files.

query = padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel(___,Name=Value) sets certain properties using one or more name-value arguments. For example, padv.builtin.query.FindModels(IncludePathRegex = "modelPrefix.*\.slx") creates a query that can find SLX files where the path contains modelPrefix.

The padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel class also has other properties, but you cannot set those properties during query creation.

Input Arguments

categoryName — Name of category for project label

string | character vector

Name of the category for the project label, specified as a string or a character vector.

The query uses categoryName to specify the first entry for the query property IncludeLabel. For more information about project labels, see Add Labels to Project Files.

Example: "Classification"

Data Types: char | string

labelName — Name of project label

string | character vector

Name of project label, specified as a string or a character vector.

The query uses labelName to specify the second entry for the query property IncludeLabel. For more information about project labels, see Add Labels to Project Files.

Example: "Design"

Data Types: char | string

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Example: query = padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel("Classification","Design",IncludePathRegex = "modelPrefix.*\.slx")

ArtifactType — Type of artifact

{"sl_model_file","zc_file"} | "sl_model_file" | "zc_file" | ...

Parent — Initial query that runs before iteration query

padv.Query | Name of padv.Query object

Initial query that runs before iteration query, specified as either a padv.Query object or the Name of a padv.Query object. When you specify an iteration query for a task, the parent query is the initial query that the build system runs before running the specified iteration query.

For information on how to improve Process Advisor load times by sharing query instances across your process model, see Best Practices for Process Model Authoring.

Example: sharedQuery

Example: "FindMyInitialArtifacts"

ShowFileExtension — Show file extensions for returned models

0 (false) | 1 (true)

Show file extensions in the Alias property of returned models, specified as a numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). The Alias property controls the display name for the artifact in the Tasks column in Process Advisor.

By default, queries strip file extensions from the Alias property of each task iteration artifact. To show file extensions for all artifacts in the Tasks column, select the project setting Show file extensions. To keep file extensions in the results for a specific query, specify the query property ShowFileExtension as true.

Example: true

Data Types: logical

SortArtifacts — Setting for automatically sorting artifacts by address

true or 1 (default) | false or 0

Setting for automatically sorting artifacts by address, specified as a numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). When a query returns artifacts, the artifacts should be in a consistent order. By default, the build system sorts artifacts by the artifact address.

Alternatively, you can sort artifacts in a different order by overriding the internal sortArtifacts method in a subclass that defines a custom sort behavior. For an example, see Sort Artifacts in Specific Order.

The build system automatically calls the sortArtifacts method when using the process model. The sortArtifacts method expects two input arguments: a padv.Query object and a list of padv.Artifact objects returned by the run method. The sortArtifacts method should return a list of sorted padv.Artifact objects.

Example: SortArtifacts = false

Data Types: logical

FunctionHandle — Handle to function that function-based query runs

function_handle

Handle to the function that a function-based query runs, specified as a function_handle.

If you define your query functionality inside a function and you or the build system call run on the query, the query runs the function specified by the function_handle.

The built-in queries are defined inside classes and do not use the FunctionHandle.

Example: FunctionHandle = @FunctionForQuery

Data Types: function_handle

Methods

Specialized Public Methods

This class overrides the following inherited methods.

run

Run query to find the artifacts that meet the criteria specified by the query. The query returns a padv.Artifact object or an array of padv.Artifact objects that represent those artifacts. Note You do not need to manually invoke this method inside your process model. The build system automatically invokes the run method to find artifacts. The run method inside this built-in query runs on a query object obj and returns artifacts artifacts. If you inherit from this built-in query, make sure to use the same method signature inside your custom query: function artifacts = run(obj,~) ... end

Examples

Find Models with Specific Project Label

You can use the FindModelsWithLabel query in your task definition to find models that your tasks can iterate over (IterationQuery). For example, suppose that you want the built-in task padv.builtin.task.RunModelStandards to only run for models that use the project label RunModelAdvisor from the project label category ModelLabels.

Open a project. For this example, open the Process Advisor example project.

processAdvisorExampleStart

By default, the Check Modeling Standards task iterates over each model in the project because the task uses the built-in query padv.builtin.query.FindModels as the IterationQuery.

In the process model, reconfigure which models the Check Modeling Standards task iterates over by updating the IterationQuery for the task. The associated built-in task is padv.builtin.task.RunModelStandards. You can update the code to find only models in the project that use the project label RunModelAdvisor from the project label category ModelLabels. You can use the built-in query padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel to find the models that use that project label. Specify the first input argument as the project label category and the second argument as the project label name.

    maTask = pm.addTask(padv.builtin.task.RunModelStandards());
    maTask.IterationQuery = ...
        padv.builtin.query.FindModelsWithLabel("ModelLabels","RunModelAdvisor");
