Meta Data Services Programming

Using the Model Installer from the Command Line

The model installer can be executed through the command-line utility Insrepim.exe. By default, this utility is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Repository. It reads an .rdm file produced by or distributed with the Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Meta Data Services Software Development Kit (SDK). From the .rdm file, the utility extracts meta data from the information model and stores it in a repository database. You use command-line arguments to specify the repository database.

Syntax
InsRepIM.exe /f[Model File] /r[Repository Connection String] /u[User] /p[Password]
Parameters
Value Description
[Model File] The compiled information model (.rdm) file
[Repository Connection String] The repository database file, either a Data Source Name (DSN) or database and authentication information
[User] The user name
[Password] The user password
