Creating a model properties file

You can create a model properties file from the sample file provided or create your own file. Name the new model properties file according to your model and update the values in the file as appropriate.

Before you begin

The sample file is available in the following location:
C:\npm_app_studio\WirelessModelling_<version>-win32.win32.x86\CreateModel_<version>\createmodel\sample.properties

Working from a model properties file sample is recommended but if a sample file is not available, create a file containing the following properties and save it with an appropriate filename.
Note: If you are using a text editor that has word wrap functionality, ensure that it is turned off.

Procedure

  1. Edit a new file or an existing model properties file. Save the file with the filename model_name_model.properties.

    where model_name is the name of the model that the model properties file describes.
  2. Update the file with the properties shown in this table. Do not put a space between the property and the value, for example PACK_VERSION=1.0.0.
    Property Description Example
    PACK_SYMBOLIC_NAME The customer facing name for the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model, it must be unique for each model. ibm.tnpm.net.mobile.lte.hua.eutran
    Note: Ensure that the pack name is in this format only. Use only dot separator.
    PACK_VERSION The model version 1.0.0
    OUTPUT_DIR The directory where the project is created in your local machine C:\npm_app_studio\WirelessModelling_<version>-win32.win32.x86\CreateModel_<version>\output
    DB_HOST Host name of the system where the database is installed server.my.ibm.com
    Note: The other parameters related to database preferences like DB_PORT, DB_DATABASE_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, you can use the default values that are given in the sample properties file.
    DB_PORT Database port number The default port number is 1521.
    DB_DATABASE_NAME Database name The database name is vtdb
    NASACCESS_USER This is the main user schema The user schema to be configured is nasaccess
    NASACCESS_PASSWORD Password for nasaccess user The default password is nasaccess.
    COGNOS_DIR Location of the Cognos directory. This directory contains the BmtScriptPlayer.exe file. C:\cognos\c10
    MEASURE_DIMENSION This a flag to create Measure Dimension for drill down to target entity level. If you assign the values N the model that is created does not have the Measure Dimension section in it there by reducing the size of the model.  
  3. Save the new model properties file.
