Script Management Uses
Now that you know some of the features of scripts, why might you use them? Following are some applications or use scenarios.
• Update a model to a new time range. For example, at the beginning of the year, advance the model’s run range, import new data, and set desired operation triggers.
• Prepare a model for the current day’s run. In one click of a button, clear yesterday’s proposed operations, import observed data, load the necessary rulesets and goal sets so the model is ready to run.
• Change an after-the-fact accounting model into an operations or planning model. Run a script to change the controller, load an alternative ruleset, modify object methods, and set slot values.
• Provide the model to stakeholders who can use the Script Manager to specify their desired inputs. They then run a script that executes the model.
This document describes the Script Manager, Script Editor, and Script Dashboard including all of the action types and settings. See Script Dashboard for details on running scripts.
