This wizard defines a new scenario in Rule Scenario Manager.

To open the New Scenario Wizard, in the File menu select New > Other, open ILOG Rule Studio, open the Rule Scenario Manager category, and click Scenario.

Select Project Page

The Project page is where you select the Java project in which to create the new files. Select a project from the list.

New Scenario File Page

The Scenario File page is where you specify the definition for the scenario to add to a project.

Table 44 New Scenario File Page
Section 
Purpose 
Name

Description 
Enter a short description for the scenario. 
Input Data File 
Specify the file containing the input data for the scenario. 
Baseline Report 
Specify a baseline report whose values can be used in the scenario's tests. 
Report Name 
Enter a name for the scenario report file. 
Canonical Ruleset Path 
Click this option on to report the absolute path (including RuleApp/ruleset version numbers) to the ruleset. 

Specify Trace Filters Page

The Trace Filters page is where you specify the information that should be returned in the execution trace by the SSP after the ruleset's execution. Excluding unnecessary data can improve system performance.

Table 45 Execution Trace Filters Page
Section 
Purpose

Use the system default filter set. With this setting, all data is included in the execution trace except for the working memory and the objects bound by the rules fired at the time of their execution. 
Redefine filter values 
Click this option on to activate the individual filters. Select data to include as required. 

Specify Configuration File Page

The Configuration File page is where you specify the configuration for a scenario. You can use the system default, choose an existing configuration or create a new one.

Table 46 Configuration File Page
Section 
Purpose 
Use the default configuration 
Select this option to use the system default configuration. 
Choose an existing configuration 
Select this option to use an existing configuration file. 
Create a new configuration 
Select this option to create a new configuration. After you click Next, the wizard will continue with three pages in which you define a new configuration. 

Define New Configuration Pages

If you specified to create a new configuration page above, the Configuration File pages follow, where you define the new configuration. The definition is completed in three pages:

Table 47 New Configuration Page 1
Section 
Purpose 
Name 
Enter a name for the configuration. 
Description 
Enter a short description for the configuration.

Click Next to open the second page defining a new configuration.

Table 48 New Configuration Page 2
Section 
Purpose 
Input Parameters 
Specify a databinding class and its URL for translating the input parameters. 
Subcomponents

Baseline Reports 
Specify a databinding class and its URL for translating baseline reports. 

Click Next to open the third and last page defining a new configuration.

Table 49 New Configuration Page 3
Section 
Purpose
