Thank you for your feedback

Simulation processing is an automated method for preserving templates. This process recalculates and stores template data in response to changes in reference data or other global drivers.

To learn more about when to utilize the Simulation Engine, click here.
To understand the necessity of the Simulation Engine, click here.

Access the Simulation Engine Process List page by navigating to Maintenance > Rules > Simulation Engine.

Note:

The Default Scenario does not have Schedule and Process options.

You can access the Simulation Engine Process List page by navigating to Maintenance > Rules > Simulation Engine. All current processes are displayed by scenario. Select the scenario for which you want to process templates and click Add to create a new Process List.

Learn more about creating a Simulation Engine Process by clicking here.

You can edit a process to make necessary changes by clicking the edit icon.

Navigate to Maintenance > Rules > Simulation Engine.
Select the required scenario from the Scenario drop-down list.
Select a process and click the Edit icon.
Make the required changes in the fields and click the Save icon.

You can delete a process by clicking the delete icon.

Navigate to Maintenance > Rules > Simulation Engine.
Select the required scenario from the Scenario drop-down list.
Select a process and click the Delete icon.
Click Delete.

You can access the Simulation Engine Process List page by navigating to Maintenance > Rules > Simulation Engine. Once the process is created, you must add template entity combinations you want to be processed. Select the scenario and a process, and click Setup.

Process Actions

Process Log is available for Processes run locally. To view the Process Log of a process, follow the below steps:

Navigate to Maintenance > Rules > Simulation Engine.
Click More icon and select Process Log.
The Process Log List has three tabs:
- Detail View
- Select Criteria
- Filter

Detail View

Select Detail View to see details of a process log.

Select Criteria

Click Select Criteria to View or Clear Logs for a specific timeframe.
Select%20Criteria

Filter

Click Filter icon to filter out Process Log List by Log Label, Processes Date or Processed User.

Output

You can Print the Simulation Process List, change print settings through Print Setup, or Export as Excel to view the output.

Other Actions

You can view Template Entity combinations to process from Entity Report.

You can save time by creating all processes for the default scenario and then mapping them to other scenarios with the help of Copy from Default Scenario. Read more on Copying Simulation Engine Processes From the Default Scenario to Other Scenarios here.

We recommend using Cloud Scheduler to run all Simulation Engine processes. Scheduling the process to run via the Simulation Engine page may result in the jobs not running in order due to server availability. Read more on how to schedule a Simulation Engine process via Cloud Scheduler here.

You can process template entity combinations via the Process option.

Navigate to Maintenance > Rules > Simulation Engine.
Select the required scenario from the Scenario drop-down list.
Select the required process.
Click Process to process all template entity combinations.
