Setting Up a Multi-Modeling Environment › Copying a Model › Building the Model Object List

Building the Model Object List

As the first step in the copy model object process, you need to ensure the objects you want to copy have entries in the model object list. One way to do this is to use the Build Model List command. This section describes how the Build Model List (YBLDMDLLST) command functions and provides an example of how you might use the command.

Note: This step is optional. You can use any model object list as the source for the copy; for example, you could use your session list of changed model objects.

The YBLDMDLLST command builds a list of CA 2E objects in a model, including CA 2E files, fields, access paths, and functions in the source model. The model object list resides in the model library.

For example, to build a model object list, MYMDLLST, of all access paths and functions in the model, MYMDL, you would enter the following and press Enter:

YBLDMDLLST MDLLST(MYMDL/MYMDLLST) + OBJNAM((*ANY *ALL *ACP)(*ANY *ALL *FUN))

The YBLDMDLLST command includes optional parameters that let you specify how CA 2E should build the model object list and which objects in the model object list should be selected. For example, to automatically select for copying all objects added by the YBLDMDLLST command, specify the OUTCPYOBJ(*SELECTED) parameter.
