In progress. Coming soon...
This page describes how to use Simulation environments in Axiodis and corresponding key points.
Goals
Simulation environment anagement allows the user to define some dedicated environment in which he can make some simulations (new constraints, new data, new optimization profiles, and so on) without any change within the operational environment.
The system can manage many environments, but the operational environment is always existing and is unique:
- If current environment is the operational environment, then the system shows all the module according to the licence,
- If current environment is a simulation environment, then the system shows only Data & Contraints and Planning modules,
Simulation environments management must be activated in the licence to be used.
WEB portal
Once the user is connected, a new combo-box is available within the WEB portal. This combo-box contains all the simulation environments allowed to the current user.
At the first time a user launch the application, this combo-box contains only the operational environment: OPE - Operational environment.
Then, the combo box will be automatically positioned on the last used environment when the user did a logoff.
If none environment is authorized for the current connected user, then the combo-box will be empty, and the user will not be able to launch the RCP application. He will have to ask an appropriate user in order to give him access to some environments (See Simulation environments management below).
RCP portal
Once the connected user choose one environment within the WEB portal, then he can launch the RCP platform. According to the type of the chosen environment (Simulation or Operational), the system show more or less modules.
The RCP platform is always open for 1 and only 1 environment. We will see below how to swapp from one environment to another.
Also a new menu within the RCP platform, showing:
- All the environments allowed to the current connected user: by selecting one environment, the current connected user can easily swapp from one to another
- The option "Save as", if the connected user has at least the authorization to create a new simulation environment (See below in the Administration module),
- The option "Manage environments", if the connected user has at least the authorization to consult the existing environments,
Administration
The administration module is available only within the operational environment, according to the authorizations if the current connected user.
Authorizations profiles
Some new authorizations are available, visible according to the licence:
- Environments consultation : allows the user to access the environment management window
- Environments creation : allows the connected user to create new simulation environments within the system
- Environments modification : allows the connected user to modify simulation environments
- Environments deletion : allows the connected user to delete simulation environments
Also some new authorizations in order to manage the actions in the Planning module (so-called Tactical Planning module), when the user is connected to a simulation environment (but not for the operational environment).
Tactical actions
According to its authorizations, the connected user can add, modify or delete the standard action for the Tactical Planning module.
User definition
According to its authorizations, the connected user can modify its user scope, in order to use another tactical actions profile.
Environments management window
Accessible by the menu Environments + Manage environments:
This windows is enabled only if the connected user has at least the authorization to consult the environments. Then, according to the above authorizations, the connected user can add, modify or delete some environment.
System forbids to delete the operational environment.
General informations
Some informations are read only and setted by the system when creating the environment:
- Type of environment : Simulation or Operational
- Owner: the user who created the environment
- Creation date: date the environment was created
Authorizations
Allow to list all the users defined in the system with access to the current simulation. By default, at the creation of a new simulation environment, the owner is part of the list. He can be remomved.
System forbids
- to delete a simulation environment on which a user is connected
- to remove the authorization from one environment for a connected user on which he is connected
