Manually Copying a Model from a CSE to a CSE While Preserving Common Ancestry

Follow these steps:

1. Issue the following download command on the source CSE to produce an apply.trn file.

   download -u userid -m "model name" [-s "subset name"] -l -t extract [-d directory] -e ency
   

   userid

   Defines a userid that must have authorization to download models.

   model

   Defines the model name. Enclose the model name in double quotes when it contains embedded spaces, as in "model name".

   subset

   (Optional) Defines the subset name. Enclose the subset name in double quotes when it contains embedded spaces, as in "subset name".

   Default: the entire model

   -t extract

   Defines that the transaction file is extract.

   -l

   Combined with '-t extract' this executes the download with apply option to create an apply.trn file which includes the common ancestry data. It is not a child model and the everify.trn created has no relevance in this scenario.

   directory

   Defines the destination directory of the transaction file. The default is the current directory.

   ency

   Defines the child encyclopedia ID used when extracting a model or subset for upload to another encyclopedia.

   When used in combination with the '-l' option, although the resulting extract is not a child model this child encyclopedia ID parameter is still mandatory. Any value can be used because it is not checked against the destination encyclopedia ID on upload.

   Important! Verify that you included the –l option before issuing the command.

2. If the destination encyclopedia resides on a different system, move the transaction file, apply.trn, to a directory that the CSE server install directory can access.
3. From the CSE server install directory, issue the following upload command to upload the transaction file to the destination encyclopedia:

   upload -u userid -d directory
   

   userid

   Defines a userid.

   directory

   Defines the directory that contains the transaction file.
