Load MetaModel


This option enables you to import a validated language package into the CAST Analysis Service for use with the CAST Universal Analyzer. A language package consists of the following items (for example, for PHP):

  • Directory name > PHP
  • MetaModel name > PHPMetaModel.xml
  • LanguagePattern name > PHPLanguagePattern.xml

When imported into the Analysis Service, the language can be analyzed in the CAST Universal Analyzer:

Loading the MetaModel
  1. Make sure your language package has been validated and saved using the UA Assistant
  2. Select the database/schema that hosts the Analysis Service
  3. On the toolbar, select Database/Schema Installation > Load MetaModel > From Disk
  4. CAST Server Manager will then import your language package automatically
  5. When completed, the Analysis Service will be updated with the new language package and you can use the Universal Analyzer to analyze your new language (it will be available in the Language Selection page)

Notes

  • The Load MetaModel option will not be available for schemas that are "out of date" - i.e. schemas whose version number is lower than the version number of CAST Server Manager. This is to prevent a MetaModel from release "8.3.5" (for example) being loaded into release "8.2.10".
