NewModel

The NewModel verb creates, names, describes, and opens a Cognos® Transformer model.

The user interface equivalent is to click the New option on the File menu.

Cognos Transformer saves the model file in the My Documents/Transformer/Models directory, unless a server path is specified.

Running NewModel will close previously opened files without saving them. If you want to save a file, you must use the verb SaveMDL or SavePY before you use the NewModel verb.

The syntax is as follows:

NewModel objModel [appqueryopts]

Argument

Description

NewModel objModel

Specifies the model that is to be opened. objModel must be the model name.

appqueryopts

Optional parameters that describe the model in greater detail. Some options are set by default if you do not set them. For the complete list of options, see appqueryopts.

Example

This example creates a model called PowerPlay® Sample, and provides a description.

NewModel "PowerPlay Sample" AppInfo "This model used the tutorial."
