automating batch processing using MDL scripts

[1boat]

We have Cognos Impromtpu and Power Play 6.61 and need to automate the creation of models using MDL scripts.
I have not worked with MDL scripts and need some examples.

We do have some "BASE" models, but I need to create models, with security, categories created, and apex'd.
I need to replicate about 50 "BASE" models for over 200 clients. Then create cubes and publish to UPFRONT. We have the script to call the rsserver to create the cubes and the ppadmtool command scripted to publish to Upfront. But we need to create an MDL script to create the models in batch.

Can anyone provide an example for me?

Here is an example of an mdl script we use. It basically builds the cube and saves it to a desired location. These are scheduled within Cognos Scheduler:

OPENpy "N:\Cognos Development\Powerplay Cubes\cube1.pyh"
Createfiles
savepy "N:\Cognos Development\Powerplay Cubes\cube1.pyh"

NewModel
