Viewing a Simulation Flow

View a simulation flow.

• Stepping from Current and Selected Components
  When a simulation starts, the first component to be executed is indicated with a dotted green box. When you step through the project without making modifications, the box moves from component to component, displaying the success or failure icon until the end of the simulation.
• Forwarding and Backward-forwarding Components
  The visual flow of the simulation as indicated by the box is straightforward in most projects; the box moves from one component to the next. However, the flow of a project simulation does not necessarily progress in only one direction; flow direction depends on the components used within the project.
• Previewing Data from Multiple Locations

• Partially Executing or Initializing During Simulation
  Restarting an entire simulation after making modifications to a single component can be time consuming, especially if your project has a large number of input records in a project that consists of large number of components.
• Simulating Up to a Certain Component
  Validate your current project by starting from a component somewhere in the middle of a project.
• Impact of Read/Write Block Size
  The number you enter as the Read Block Size defines the number of records fetched by the component during a single simulation step. Set the Write Block Size to define the number of records to be written.
