See What Is SMML?

If you generate JSON/SMML from an .rpd file that was exported from Model Administration Tool and uses an ODBC Basic or ODBC Advanced connection, the rpdtojson utility converts the connection to JDBC.

The location of the rpdtojson utility is BI_DOMAIN/bitools/bin

Syntax

The rpdtojson utility takes the following parameters:

rpdtojson [-P repository_password] {-R repository_path} {-D target_json_path} [-8] [-O log_pathname] [-C]

Where the required flags are:

repository_password is the password for the semantic model.

repository_path is the path and name of the semantic model. You must provide the full path names to the input and output repository files if they're located in different directories.

target_json_path is the path and name for the target JSON/SMML. You must provide the full path names to the input and output repository files if they're located in different directories.

Where the optional flags are:

Specify -O to generate an output log file at the path you specify.

Specify -8 to assure that the semantic model to JSON conversions supports all UTF-8 encoding.

Specify -C to use compatibility mode to generate additional metadata for backward compatibility in legacy semantic models.

Specify -H or -? to display usage information and exit.

Examples

This example generates JSON/SMML with ASCII encoding in /project/json based on the input repository source.rpd:

rpdtojson -P password -R /project/source.rpd -D /project/json

This example generates JSON/SMML with UTF-8 encoding in /project/json based on the input repository source.rpd:

rpdtojson -P password -R /project/source.rpd -D /project/json -8

This example uses compatibility mode to generate JSON/SMML in /project/json based on the input repository source.rpd. It also generates an additional log file for the conversion.

rpdtojson -P password -R /project/source.rpd -D /project/json -O /project/logs/rpdtojson.log -C
