Generating the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model contents

Generate the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model contents by running the createmodel.bat command on a model properties file, a Common Intermediate Format (CIF) file (.tnpmmodel).

Before you begin

To generate a model, you need a model properties file, a Common Intermediate Format (CIF) file.

About this task

If the path to the CIF file (.tnpmmodel), or the model properties file, contains special characters such as spaces, you must enclose the path in quotation marks.

This task assumes the following file locations:

The CreateModel tool is installed in the C:\npm_app_studio\WirelessModelling_<version>-win32.win32.x86\CreateModel_<version> directory.
A CIF file and a model properties file are stored in the C:\temp\Models directory.

For more information about the createmodel command, see The createmodel command.

Procedure

From the command line, go to the bin directory by entering the following command:

cd C:\npm_app_studio\WirelessModelling_<version>-win32.win32.x86\
CreateModel_<version>\createmodel\bin

Enter the following command on a single line:
```
.\createmodel.bat -generate -model C:\temp\Models\cif_file -properties 
C:\temp\Models\model_name_model.properties {-overwrite}
```
Where:
cif_file

Name of the CIF file (.tnpmmodel).
Note: If you want to create a merged model with raw, summary and busy hour models that you have a created from a technology pack, you can specify the folder name where the models are available instead of the cif_file name.

model_name

Name of the model that the model properties file describes.
If the paths contain special characters, such as spaces, you must enclose the path in quotation marks.
The Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model contents are generated and placed in OUTPUT_DIR\PACK_SYMBOLIC_NAME_PACK_VERSION
Where:
OUTPUT_DIR

Maps to the OUTPUT_DIR property in the model.properties file.

PACK_SYMBOLIC_NAME

Maps to the PACK_SYMBOLIC_NAME property in the model_name_model.properties file.

PACK_VERSION

Maps to the PACK_VERSION property in the model_name_model.properties file.
