This topic describes how to view and change the properties of a model. You can use either Windows PowerShell cmdlets or the AXUtil command-line utility to perform this task.

Prepare the system and validate permissions

Drain the client connections that are connected to the Application Object Server (AOS) instance that you are working with. For more information, see Drain users from an AOS.
Validate that you have appropriate permissions to work with the model store:
- Administrative permissions on the local computer
- System Administrator rights in Microsoft Dynamics AX
- In Microsoft SQL Server:
  - Membership in the Securityadmin server role on the SQL Server instance
  - Membership in the db_owner role in the Microsoft Dynamics AX database

View the contents of a model manifest (Windows PowerShell)

On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Microsoft Dynamics AX Management Shell.

At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, PS C:\>, type one of the following commands, and then press ENTER.

Get-AXModelManifest -Model <Modelname> -XML

Get-AXModelManifest -File <Filename.axmodel>

The first command returns the properties of a model. When the -XML parameter is added, this command also generates an XML version of a model manifest.

The following example shows the output of the first command.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> 
<ModelManifest SchemaVersion="1.9" ModelFileVersion="17" ElementCount="0"> 
<Name>ModelName</Name> 
<DisplayName>ModelName</DisplayName> 
<Description /> 
<Publisher /> 
<Signed>false</Signed> 
<Category>Standard</Category> 
<InstallMode>Standard</InstallMode> 
<Version>1.0.0.0</Version> 
<Layer>ISV</Layer> 
<DependencyState /> 
</ModelManifest>PS C:\Windows\system32>

The second command returns the properties of an .axmodel file.

For more information, see Get-AXModelManifest.

View the contents of a model manifest (AXUtil)

On the Start menu, click Command prompt.
Navigate to the directory for the management utilities. Typically, the location of this directory is %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\ManagementUtilities.

At the command prompt, type one of the following commands, and then press ENTER.

axutil manifest /model:<modelname> /xml

axutil manifest /file:<filename>

The first command returns the properties of a model. When the /XML parameter is added, this command also generates an XML version of a model manifest.

The following example shows the output of the first command.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModelManifest SchemaVersion="1.9" ModelFileVersion="18" ElementCount="0" ModelB
uildVersion="">
  <Name>modelname</Name>
  <DisplayName>modelname</DisplayName>
  <Description />
  <Publisher />
  <Signed>false</Signed>
  <Category>Standard</Category>
  <InstallMode>Standard</InstallMode>
  <Version>1.0.0.0</Version>
  <Layer>ISV</Layer>
  <DependencyState />
</ModelManifest>

The second command returns the properties of a model file.

Change the manifest properties of a model (Windows PowerShell)

Determine which properties you want to change:
- Name
- DisplayName
- Description
- Publisher
- Version – A four-part indicator, in the format Number.Number.Number.Number.
- InstallMode – Possible values include Standard, Overwrite, and Conflict. Standard stops the import process if a conflicting model element is encountered in the same layer. Overwrite replaces the existing model element with the imported model element. Conflict creates a conflict model in the related update layer. This conflict model contains the conflicting model element.
At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, PS C:\>, type the following command, and then press ENTER.
```
Edit-AXModelManifest -Model <Modelname> -ManifestProperty "Propertyname = Value"
```
You can also use the ManifestFile parameter to specify an XML file that contains the properties of the model that you want to use.

For more information, see Edit-AXModelManifest.

Change the properties of a model (AXUtil)

- InstallMode – Possible values include Standard, Overwrite, and Conflict. Standard stops the import process if a conflicting model element is encountered in the same layer. Overwrite replaces the existing model element with the imported model element. Conflict creates a conflict model in the related update layer. This conflict model contains the conflicting model element.
On the Start menu, click Command prompt.
Navigate to the directory for the management utilities. Typically, the location of this directory is %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\ManagementUtilities.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER.
```
axutil edit /model:<modelname> /manifest:PropertyName=Value
```
You can also use the @modelxml parameter and pipe the parameters to a file. In this way, you can specify an XML file that contains the properties of the model that you want to use.
```
axutil edit /model:<modelname> @modelxml | /File=Filename
```
