== Application: Convert a Policy Model to CLI Editor Commands

**Status: Experimental**

This application takes a policy model (JSON or XML encoded) and generates commands for the APEX CLI Editor.
This effectively reverses a policy specification realized with the CLI Editor.

[width="100%",options="header",cols="5a,5a"]
|====================
| Unix, Cygwin | Windows
|
[source%nowrap,sh]
----
# $APEX_HOME/bin/apexApps.sh model-2-cli [args]
----
|
[source%nowrap,bat]
----
> %APEX_HOME%\bin\apexApps.bat model-2-cli [args]
----
|====================

The option `-h` provides a help screen.

[source%nowrap,sh]
----
usage: gen-model2cli
 -h,--help                 prints this help and usage screen
 -m,--model <MODEL-FILE>   set the input policy model file
 -sv,--skip-validation     switch of validation of the input file
 -v,--version              prints the application version
----

For instance, running the tool with the __Sample Domain__ policy model as:
[source%nowrap,sh]
----
apexApps.sh model-2-cli -m $APEX_HOME/examples/models/SampleDomain/SamplePolicyModelJAVA.json
----

will produce the following status messages:

[source%nowrap,sh]
----
gen-model2cli: starting CLI generator
 --> model file: examples/models/SampleDomain/SamplePolicyModelJAVA.json
----

and then run the generator application producing all CLI Editor commands and printing them to standard out.
