Use of iwmodelc

Hi

Does anybody know how to use the CLT iwmodelc.bat

I have created a Workflow which runs succesfully from Teamsite but I want to run it as a windows scheduled job.

If I issue the following command

iwmodelc -i FundingWF /default/main

The results are

2008-06-03 17:39:33,562 [main] ERROR com.interwoven.modeler.clt.Instantiator () - Model FundingWF is not allowed for the user 102357-APP1\tsmaster of role null for branch /default/main
Error: Model FundingWF is not allowed for the user 102357-APP1\tsmaster of role null for branch /default/main

I am logged onto the server as tsmaster so there should not be any permission problems.

As there is little documentation I am unsure of the parameters I am passing. In the command above I have set the 'modelname' to the name of my workflow and 'vpath' to a test directory. I am not actually sure what I should be setting vpath to! Why is my role null?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Steven

Is your model restricted to any roles? If yes, add your tsmaster user to the model in available_models..

Thanks for that - I have managed to get it working now. I had the values for both parameters wrong. For anyone struggling with this here is a hopefully more clear explanation of the use of this tool.

Issuing the command on its own gives the usage

>iwmodelc

Usage: iwmodelc [-options] modelname vpath [outputFolder]

where options include:
-h Print this message
-v Print version
-i Instantiate the model
-d Debug mode, saves the expanded model and jobspec into if present or current folder

modelName: Workflow Model name, with out file extension
vpath: Teamsite vpath, This is where the workflow will be
instantiated from
[outputFolder]: Output folder to save the expanded model and the job spec.
Should be used only with "-d" option.

The first thing to note is that the modelName is not the name of the workflow file as I first thought, but the value you have given the name parameter in available_models.xml e.g.

<model debug="false" active="true" filename="MyWF_01" name="This is my first Workflow">

The vpath parameter must be a path that is allowed by available_models.xml

A valid call is therefore something like

>iwmodelc -i "This is my first Workflow" "/default/main/mybranch/WORKAREA/myworkarea/"

If you do not have any spaces in your workflow name or vpath the double quotes are not necessary.
