A set of proof-of-concept (POC) generators are freely available
at http://www.somusar.com, and allow SoProMach users
to familiarize with its software generation capabilities.
For training and consultancy please refer to
http://www.somusar.com/services.
The command-line interface of SoProMach
consists of two commands - the two
executable programs - with options and parameters as follows:
- sisendel <entity-file> [<entity-file>...]
Compile one or more project entity files; the input files must reside in the SISENDEL_PROJECT directory, or in subdirectories thereof.
- sisendel -lib <entity-file> [<entity-file>...]
Compile one or more library entity files; the input files must reside in the SISENDEL_LIBRARY directory, or in subdirectories thereof.
- sisendel -version
Print out version and model information of the Sisendel executable file.
- tefigel
Read Tefigel instructions and text from the standard input, writing output onto the standard output, or onto the file, or files, specified as parameters to one or more output or append instructions.
- tefigel <text-file> [<text-file>...]
Read Tefigel instructions and text from the given files, writing output onto the standard output, or onto the file, or files, specified as parameters to one or more output or append instructions. The special name "-" can be specified to process the standard input. File names with extension ".tfg" are assumed to refer to Tefigel script files. The extension ".tfg" may be omitted.
- tefigel -version
Print out version and model information of the Tefigel executable file.
SoProMach can be used to generate software according to two main
schemes:
Scheme 1:
entity-based software generation, fully described in
"Somusar/Software Production Technique[tm]: An Introduction
"; the language and
corresponding processor for this scheme is Sisendel, but Tefigel
also plays an important role as the language for the Software Molds;
Scheme 2:
generalized file-oriented software generation;
the language and corresponding processor for this scheme is Tefigel.
A thorough discussion about the applicability of Sisendel falls outside
the scope of this guide, and is given in
"Somusar/Software Production Technique[tm]: An Introduction
",
"Somusar/Sisendel[tm]: A Tutorial Introduction
", and
"Somusar/Software Production Technique[tm]: A Sample Project
":
for the purpose of this guide it is sufficient to say that
Sisendel can be applied in any software project - from small to large,
to very large -
involving some degree of similarity in the software files related to
the entities that constitute the software system under development.
In general, Sisendel can be applied whenever a software system
can be described as a set of interrelated entities (or objects)
distributed across two or more system layers, such as a database,
a usage interface, and a business logic layer. In addition, Sisendel
allows to automatically produce consistent and up-to-date
documentation about the software system.
As described in detail in
"Somusar/Tefigel[tm]: A Tutorial Introduction
", any text file
can be considered
a Tefigel "program": it is thus possible to apply the Tefigel
processor to any text file, independently of the Sisendel processor, to
generate software in practically any computer language source format.
Consequently, Tefigel can be applied as a generalized
generation tool in any software project involving
some degree of similarity at the source file level.
Tefigel can read natively XML and CSV files as input models.
