Command line interface for XMI Import/Export (XMI Import/Export)
XMI Import/Export has a command line interface that allows you to perform import and export operations through a Command Prompt window, Windows Run dialog or through a batch file. This is useful should you want to, for example, schedule a batch file to perform XMI imports or exports over night.
• You must run the command line from the Modeler Exe folder.
• To ensure that the spaces in the command line are in the correct places, copy the command line from this topic and then make the necessary changes for your environment.
Command line interface for exports
Run the XMI Import/Export command line from the Modeler Exe folder. If you have installed Modeler to the default location, the path of the Modeler Exe folder is as follows.
The syntax of the command line for performing an XMI export is as follows:
c:\windows\system32\java.exe -cp jacob.jar;StudioXMIExporter.jar;registry.jar;. -Djava.library.path=. XMIGUIExport -c [-m="<model reference>"] -f="<path and name of XMI file>"
Where:
• <model reference> - is the reference of the model that is being exported, as shown in Modeler on the General tab of a model's Property Pages. If you do not include this argument, the active Modeler model is exported. Note that the model reference is case sensitive.
• <path and name of XM file>I - is the path and name of the XMI file you want to create through the export.
• In the following example, a model named MyModel is exported to a file named Export1.xmi.
