SUPPORT
Provide a troubleshooting package with:
- the debug log (can be set in the UI or in conf/conf.properties with MIR_LOG_LEVEL=6)
- the metadata backup if available (can be set in the Miscellaneous parameter with -backup option, although this common option is not implemented on all bridges for technical reasons).
Bridge Parameters
| Parameter Name | Description | Type | Values | Default | Scope | |||
| Directory | The export bridge generates a directory of XML files, which are an XMI representation of the imported models in MIR. | DIRECTORY | Mandatory | |||||
| Verboseness Level | Verboseness level: 'Low' Maximum optimization, the default values are not printed, reverse links are not printed, IDrefs are grouped and IDs are printed instead of tag, element and attribute names. 'High' Minimum optimization, all possible information is printed. 'Custom' Customized optimization, only default values and reverse links are not printed. |
ENUMERATED |
|
Low | ||||
| Remove textual information | Remove Textual Information: Specify 'True' Remove textual information like object names and descriptions in the XML file. It can be used when one needs to remove proprietary or confidential metadata information from a model. 'False' |
BOOLEAN |
|
False | ||||
| Links Serialization Format | Links serialization format: 'None' Do not want stitching and lineage links to be generated and serialized. 'CSV' Generate and serialize links in CSV format. 'XML' Generate and serialize links in XML format. |
ENUMERATED |
|
None | ||||
| Miscellaneous | INTRODUCTION Specify miscellaneous options starting with a dash and optionally followed by parameters, e.g. -connection.cast MyDatabase1="MICROSOFT SQL SERVER" Some options can be used multiple times if applicable, e.g. -connection.rename NewConnection1=OldConnection1 -connection.rename NewConnection2=OldConnection2; As the list of options can become a long string, it is possible to load it from a file which must be located in ${MODEL_BRIDGE_HOME}\data\MIMB\parameters and have the extension .txt. In such case, all options must be defined within that file as the only value of this parameter, e.g. ETL/Miscellaneous.txt JAVA ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS -java.memory <Java Memory's maximum size> (previously -m) 1G by default on 64bits JRE or as set in conf/conf.properties, e.g. -java.memory 8G -java.memory 8000M -java.parameters <Java Runtime Environment command line options> (previously -j) This option must be the last one in the Miscellaneous parameter as all the text after -java.parameters is passed "as is" to the JRE, e.g. -java.parameters -Dname=value -Xms1G The following option must be set when a proxy is used to access internet (this is critical to access https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/ and exceptionally a few other tool sites) in order to download the necessary third-party software libraries. Note: The majority of proxies are concerned with encrypting (HTTPS) the outside (of the company) traffic and trust the inside traffic that can access proxy over HTTP. In this case, an HTTPS request reaches the proxy over HTTP where the proxy HTTPS-encrypts it. -java.parameters -java.parameters -Dhttp.proxyHost=127.0.0.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttp.proxyUser=user -Dhttp.proxyPassword=pass |
