Hi,

The attached powerpoint summarizes all the options to "get your model into the cell". It was written for 7.1, but remains valid for later versions.

This is no replacement for documentation, but this should help you get started.

There are two ways to use cli and send models (CI & relationships) to cell. You can either directly use pposter cli command, which sends model via publishing server or mposter cli command, which uses direct baroc file mechanism to send data to cell. refer to Service model adminsitartor's guide for more details.

Yes, refer to Impact Solutions: Service monitortoring user guide V 7.2, chapter 4, editing service model in Impact explorer.

You can later on move to CMDB. There is a utility called sim2cmdb which migrate your model from SIM to CMDB.

Answer to your second question is service model will be stored in cell's database called mcdb.

Is there a manual or documentation that explains the process to create service models using IX using the services tab?

Thanks,

Hi,

Exists any CLI to add/update/remove CI/relations from model on cell?

What I need to know is if there are any command line to build and mantain the SIM model directly on cell repository. I have a database with the information to build the model and I want to automatically "refresh" the model on SIM.

Thanks in advance
