Transfer simulation data for activities

If the activity is connected to a dialog, script, or Web service and simulation data has already been created for the object, you can use this data for the simulation data of the activity. Sample processes with predefined simulation data are available in the reference database Governance Automation Models.

Prerequisite

Simulation data can be defined for activities only when a data flow is available.

Procedure

  1. Open the model containing the object for which you want to transfer simulation data.
  2. Click the relevant symbol.
  3. Activate the Governance tab bar.
  4. Click Process preparation > Define simulation data. The corresponding dialog opens.
  5. Activate the Data transfer tab.
  6. Click Transfer all to transfer all of the defined simulation data. The simulation data is transferred for the activity. The Simulation data tab is automatically enabled to adjust the data fields, if necessary.
  7. Click the name of the relevant simulation data and select Transfer if you want to transfer specific simulation data only. The simulation data is transferred for the activity. The Data transfer tab continues to be displayed in case further simulation data must be transferred. The data structure is however, only displayed as a preview. To make changes to names and values, activate the Simulation data tab.
  8. Click OK.

The simulation data is saved at the occurrence level. You can start the simulation.
