Creating the dynamic model

In this example, the same dynamic model is loaded into several Domain Managers, each starting with a different --conf directory. Instead of copying the same compiled dynamic model file (the file with extension .ldm) to each BASEDIR/smarts/local/model/<conf> directory, one single copy is created and compiled in BASEDIR/smarts/local/model. Each of the Domain Managers is then started with the --dynamic command line option to load the compiled dynamic model file from BASEDIR/smarts/local/model.

To create the dynamic model:

1. Create and edit a new file in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/modeldirectory. Type the following at a command prompt:

                  BASEDIR
                  /smarts/bin/sm_edit --create model/Example2.mdl
               

2. To add the serial number attribute to the Router class, type the following lines into the Example2.mdl file.

    refine interface Router
    {
     stored attribute string SM_SerialNumber
     "Custom serial number" 
     = "NotAvailable";
    }
   

3. Save and close the Example2.mdl file.

   The file is saved in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/modeldirectory.
