Advanced Options for Run Scenario Steps FAQS

1. What is the "Priority" setting in a Run Scenario step?
• Priority defines the order in which Run Scenario steps are executed when they are run in parallel. A higher priority (up to 100) ensures that the step will be executed before steps with a lower priority. The default priority is 0.
2. How does the "Priority" setting affect parallel execution?
• When multiple Run Scenario steps are executed in parallel, the step with the highest priority will be executed first. Steps with lower priority will follow based on their respective priority values.
3. What does "Context" mean in a Run Scenario step?
• Context refers to the environment or scope in which the Run Scenario step is executed. By default, the context is the Load Plan context defined during the Load Plan execution. You can specify a different context if you need to run the step in a specific environment.
4. How does specifying a "Context" affect the execution?
• If only the context is specified (without setting a logical agent), the Run Scenario step will execute on the same physical agent where the Load Plan started, but it will be run within the specified context.
5. What is a "Logical Agent" in the context of Run Scenario steps?
• A Logical Agent is a virtual agent that maps to a physical agent where the step is executed. By default, the logical agent is defined during the Start Load Plan Dialog. You can specify a different logical agent if needed.
6. What happens if I specify only the "Logical Agent" and not a "Context"?
• If only a logical agent is set (and no context is defined), the Run Scenario step will execute on the physical agent corresponding to the logical agent in the context defined when the Load Plan was started.
7. What happens if I don’t set a "Logical Agent" or "Context"?
• If neither a logical agent nor a context is specified, the Run Scenario step will execute on the same physical agent that started the Load Plan, regardless of any context.
8. Can I specify both a "Logical Agent" and "Context" at the same time?
• Yes, you can specify both a logical agent and a context. In this case, the Run Scenario step will execute on the physical agent corresponding to the logical agent, and the execution will be within the specified context.
9. Is there a default value for the "Logical Agent" and "Context" settings?
• Yes, the logical agent and context have default values set during the Load Plan execution (in the Start Load Plan Dialog). If no changes are made, these defaults will be used for the Run Scenario steps.
10. How do I ensure that the highest priority Run Scenario step is executed first?
• Set a higher priority value (up to 100) for the Run Scenario step you want to execute first. This step will take precedence over others with lower priority values when running in parallel.
