Workload Simulation

Users may have a new workflow, or a migrated workflow, for which they wish to validate the execution in the Universal Controller without actually having to execute the underlying operation of each task instance.

To facilitate this, a new framework for simulating a workflow, or alternatively, simulating a specific set of tasks within a workflow has been introduced.

In order to designate a task for simulation, you enable the Simulate option from any task form.

If enabled at the workflow-level, all tasks within the workflow will inherit the option and run in simulation mode.

By default, when an instance is running in simulate mode:

• The instance will complete with a status of Success.

• The instance will complete with an exit code of 0 (or 200 for the Web Service task).

• The instances Status, Late Start, Late Finish, and Early Finish events are not published to running task monitor instances.

• The instances Actions are not executed.

A simulated instance will transition through the same Status changes as a non-simulated instance, and honor virtual resource limits, mutually exclusive constraints, execution limits, etc.

Furthermore, authorization constraints, such as permission to execute on a particular agent, or execute using particular credentials, are also validated in simulation mode.

It may be necessary to customize aspects of an instance running in simulation mode, for example.

• Change the end status from Success to Failed.

• Change the exit code.

• Add a simulation output template.

• Add simulation variables that would normally be populated when an instance completes, such as ops_trigger_* variables populated by a completed monitor instance.

• Enable publishing of Status, Late Start, Late Finish, and Early Finish events.

• Enable execution of Actions by action type.

Forecast: Evaluation of variable run/skip criteria.

The Forecast feature will now attempt variable resolution for Run / Skip criteria.

The enhancement will introduce two new possible designations for the assigned Run/Skip Evaluation.

• Run*

  • The forecasted task is tentatively scheduled to run based on the variable data available at the time of the forecast but is subject to change at run time.

• Skip*

  • The forecasted task is tentatively scheduled to skip based on the variable data available at the time of the forecast but is subject to change at run time.

The Not Evaluated designation can still be assigned when an unresolved variable is detected during the evaluation of variable-based run/skip criteria.

Additionally, in the user interface, the Run/Skip Evaluation will now appear with colored styling for improved readability.

This applies to the trigger Forecast List, the workflow Forecast List, and the workflow Forecast Graph.
