Event Modeler command line options
After you define a scenario, you can use a command line to generate EPL for that scenario, or to generate a block from that scenario. This might be useful for custom scripting. The Event Modeler executable is in the bin directory of your Apama installation directory. In addition to generating EPL or a block, you can use the command line format to obtain information about Event Modeler. Information about all Event Modeler command line options is in the table at the end of this topic.
Scenario to EPL
The command line format for generating EPL from a scenario is as follows:
event_modeler.exe -Xgenerate sdf_file_path EPL_file_path
sdf_file_path
Path of the scenario definition file for the scenario that you want to save.
EPL_file_path
Name of the new monitor.
For example:
event_modeler.exe -Xgenerate c:\dev\scenario1.sdf scenario1.mon
This example generates the scenario1.mon file from the scenario1.sdf scenario definition file.
Scenario to block
The command line format for generating a block from a scenario is as follows:
event_modeler.exe -XgenerateBlock scenario block catalog
scenario
Path of the scenario definition file for the scenario that you want to save as a block.
block
Name of the new block.
catalog
Path of the blocks catalog in which to save the new block.
For example:
event_modeler.exe -XgenerateBlock scenario1.sdf scenario1Block.bdf C:/Apama/blocks
This example generates the scenario1Block.bdf file from the scenario1.sdf file and stores the new block in C:/Apama/blocks.
All options
The format for executing event_modeler.exe is as follows:
event_modeler.exe [options] [scenarioFile1.sdf scenarioFile2.sdf ...]
