Creating a Compressed TAR File for Updating DMI Schema

Creating a Compressed Tar File on Linux

To create a compressed tar file (for updating DMI schema) on Linux:

1. Install the Subversion (SVN) client on Linux. To install Subversion client on Linux, refer to Installing Subversion or other relevant documentation.
2. Create a temporary directory.
3. Navigate to the temporary directory created in the preceding step.
4. Check out the files from Subversion by executing the following command:

   svn --username=userName --password=userPwd co dmiRepositoryURL

   where userName and userPwd are the username and password required to access xml.juniper.net , and dmiRepositoryURL is the URL of the repository folder that you want to checkout.

   Examples of the DMI respository URLs are shown in Table 1.

   Table 1: Sample URLs for the Repository

   Type	Example URL
   For the whole Junos OS family	https://xml.juniper.net/dmi/repository/trunk/junos
   For a device family	https://xml.juniper.net/dmi/repository/trunk/junos-es/
   For a selected OS version	https://xml.juniper.net/dmi/repository/trunk/junos-ex/releases/11.2R2.4/

5. Tar the dmi directory by executing the following command from within the directory containing the dmi directory:

   tar czvf filename dmi

   where filename is the same of the compressed tar file. You can use any filename as long as the extension of the file is .tgz or .tar.gz

The compressed tar file is now ready for uploading into Junos Space Platform.

Creating a Compressed Tar File on Microsoft Windows

To create a compressed tar file (for updating DMI schema) on Microsoft Windows:

1. Install the Subversion (SVN) client on Microsoft Windows from the following location: https://tortoisesvn.net/ .Note

   To install the Subversion client, you can also use any software or tool that is equivalent to TortoiseSVN.

2. Install 7-Zip to generate a compressed tar file on Microsoft Windows by using the following link: http://www.7-zip.org/ .Note

   To generate the compressed tar file, you can also use any software or tool that is equivalent to 7-Zip.

3. Create a temporary folder.Note

   You can use any name for the temporary folder.

4. Create a folder called dmi within the previously created temporary folder.
5. Right-click the dmi folder and select SVN Checkout:

   A dialog box is displayed.

6. In the URL of repository field, enter the full URL of the repository. Refer to Table 1 for examples of URLs that you can enter.
7. In the Checkout directory field, enter the full path of the checkout directory; for example, C:\test\dmi\junos-es\.Note

   The portion of the path to the right of the dmi folder must be equivalent to the corresponding portion after trunk in the URL of the repository. For example, if the repository URL is https://xml.juniper.net/dmi/repository/trunk/junos-es/ the checkout directory path is C:\test\dmi\junos-es\, and if the repository URL is https://xml.juniper.net/dmi/repository/trunk/junos-es/releases/10.1R3/, the checkout directory path is C:\test\dmi\junos-es\releases\10.1R3\.

8. In the Checkout depth field, enter Fully recursive.
9. Ensure that the Omit externals check box is cleared.
10. Select HEAD revision.
11. Click OK, and if you are prompted to, provide credentials.

    The files are checked out from the Subversion repository into the specified folder.

12. Create the tar file from the dmi folder using 7-Zip:
    1. Right-click the dmi folder and select 7-Zip.
    2. Click Add to Archive.
    3. In the Archive Format field, select tar.
    4. Click OK
13. Compress the tar file file using 7-Zip:

    1. Right-click the dmi.tar file and select 7-Zip.

    2. Click Add to Archive.

    3. In the Archive Format field, select gzip.

    4. Click OK

14. (Optional) Rename the *.tar.gz file to *.tgz

The compressed tar file is now ready for uploading into Junos Space Platform.
