step 1: analyzing the file format model file into a memory;
step 2: taking the attribute and the value of the nrm moc as input, and obtaining the value of each schema tag according to the corresponding relation between the schema tag and the attribute of the file format model;
and step 3: and (3) writing the values obtained in the step (2) according to the schema definition of the file format model to generate a data output file (northbound output file).
Example 3

For example, a file storage parameter model describing a northbound output file output path and a file name naming rule is established, the idea of modeling is similar to the data output format in example 2, and a relationship between each output data syntax element (schema element) and a specific value is established.
As shown in the following xml file, a file storage parameter model describing the north output file output path and the file name naming rule is established by adopting an xml language, and a file storage parameter model file is generated.

In the xml file, firstly, a root element of the xml schema is described, secondly, a cycle body element of the xml is described, and then, a value of each tag is described.
