Simulation allows you to validate the execution of a workflow, a specific set of tasks within a workflow or a standalone task in the Universal Controller without actually having to execute the underlying operation of each task instance.
Creating a Simulation
Step 1 | From the Automation Center navigation pane, select Other > Simulation. The Simulation list displays: |
---|---|
Step 2 | Enter / select Details for a new Simulation, using the field descriptions below as a guide.
To display more of the Details fields on the screen, you can either:
|
Step 3 | Click a button. The Virtual Resource record is added to the database, and all buttons and tabs in the Virtual Resource Details are enabled. |

Simulation Details
The following Simulation Details is for an existing Simulation. See the field descriptions, below, for a description of all fields that display in the Simulation Details.
For information on how to access additional details - such as Metadata and complete database Details - for Virtual Resources (or any type of record), see Records.

Details | This section contains detailed information about the Simulation. |
Task | |
Workflow | |
Vertex ID | |
Status | |
Exit Code | |
Simulation Variables | Specifies variables that should be added for simulation purposes, including any built-in monitor variables starting with "ops_trigger_". The Simulation Variables are for adding variables that the simulated instance would have normally produced, therefore, are only available after the instance is already Queued or Running. |
Publish Status | Specifies if Status events should be published to task monitor instances. |
Publish Late Start | Specifies if Late Start events should be published to task monitor instances. |
Publish Late Finish | Specifies if Late Finish events should be published to task monitor instances. |
Publish Early Finish | Specifies if Early Finish events should be published to task monitor instances. |
Execute Abort Actions | Specifies if Abort Actions should be executed for the simulated instance. |
Execute Email Notification Actions | Specifies if Email Notification Actions should be executed for the simulated instance. |
Execute Set Variable Actions | Specifies if Set Variable Actions should be executed for the simulated instance. |
Execute SNMP Notification Actions | Specifies if SNMP Notification Actions should be executed for the simulated instance. |
Execute System Operations Actions | Specifies if System Operation Actions should be executed for the simulated instance. |
Metadata | This section contains Metadata information about this record. |
UUID | Universally Unique Identifier of this record. |
Updated By | Name of the user that last updated this record. |
Updated | Date and time that this record was last updated. |
Created By | Name of the user that created this record. |
Buttons | This section identifies the buttons displayed above and below the Simulation Details that let you perform various actions. |
Save | Saves a new Simulation record in the Controller database. |
Save & New | Saves a new record in the Controller database and redisplays empty Details so that you can create another new record. |
New | Displays empty (except for default values) Details for creating a new record. |
Update | Saves updates to the record. |
Delete | Deletes the current record. |
Refresh | Refreshes any dynamic data displayed in the Details. |
Close | For pop-up view only; closes the pop-up view of this task. |
Tabs | This section identifies the tabs across the top of the Script Details that provide access to additional information about the script. |
