Model, Component, and Package Management > Model management > Model Explorer > Command line interface - ScfUtils > Protecting a model through ScfUtils (Model Explorer)

ScfUtils provides a command line interface for performing Model Explorer functions. For a complete list of ScfUtils functions, refer to Overview of command line interface for Model Explorer functions (Model Explorer)

Through ScfUtils, you can protect the tip version of a Model.

If you have installed Modeler to the default locations, ScfUtils resides in the following location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\PTC Integrity Modeler\Modeler\Exe\SCFUtils.exe

For information about protecting a Model through Model Explorer, refer to Protecting a model

Syntax:

ScfUtils -protectmodel Enterprise \\SQL\<server>@<instance>\<database>\<model>\<version>"

Where:

• <server> specifies the name of the server on which the Database resides. The case of the name must be correct.

• <database> specifies the name of the Database that owns the Model you want to protect. The case of the name must be correct.

• <model> specifies the name of the Model you want to protect. The case of the name must be correct.

• <version> specifies the version of the Model you want to protect. Note that previous versions of a Model are automatically protected, so you can only manually protect the tip version. If the Model has not been versioned, the version is 0.

Example:

ScfUtils -protectmodel Enterprise "\\SQL\MyServer@MODELER\MyDatabase\MyModel\0"
