Viewing the Execution Preview of an Operation Plan

The Execution Preview feature allows you to preview the running of your Operation Plan Definition by triggering mock events and checking the behavior of the Operation Plan.

The Execution Preview can be run on the Operation Plan Definition. You need not create an instance and activate it to perform an Execution Preview.

No actual data is downloaded to perform the Execution Preview.

Performing an Execution Preview on an Operation Plan

To run an Execution Preview on an Operation Plan Definition:

  1. On the main menu, go to Planning > Operation Plan > Operation Plan Definition.

    By default, the current system date and time are displayed as highlighted above.

    You can change the date and time to simulate a different date and time to preview time-based triggers.

    To change the date and time:

    1. Click Set date to set a date for the Execution Preview. You can select a Timezone and a starting date to simulate the required date. Click Confirm to set the date.

    An active instance is now available for Execution Preview.

    This active instance now responds to the following types of Event Triggers:

    • Operation Plan Activated

    • Counter Activated

    • Time-based

    Note

    Activate creates an instance and activates it for the purpose of the current Execution Preview only. The scope of this instance is limited to this window. Once this window is closed, this active instance cannot be accessed again.

  4. To simulate the remaining types of Event Triggers, click New Event.

    You can select from the following three types of Events:

    • Task Started

    • Task Done

    • Measurement Point

    The above in addition to those mentioned in Step 3 cover all the different types of Event Triggers.

  2. Add the JS Script pertaining to the scenario. There are two alternatives to add your scripts:

    1. Enter the JS script directly in the editor.

      You can use the FieldLogs Keywords functions (Flkw: functions) in the JS Script to access Operation Plan data.

    2. Click Browse to upload a JS file which contains the automation scripts and use Flkw:RunScenario() to run the script.

      In the example below the file BatteryInspectionTestScenarios.js is uploaded and the Flkw:RunScenario() is used to run the script.
