Creating your scenario

Once you have developed a scenario outline and created a file to be processed, you can open CAT and create the scenario by inserting appropriate components in the tree. These components will execute the actions that are described in your scenario outline.

This step also allows to set up the scheduler. In our example, the scenario is triggered periodically every 500 milliseconds.

To create a scenario

  1. On the File menu, select New. The New Scenario window opens.

  1.  In the identification area, do the following:

  1. In Name, type FitPetHomeRating as the name of your scenario.

  2. In Description, type Rate the FitPetHome service to describe the goal of the scenario.

  1. Now you can set up the scheduler to define the execution period of the scenario. CDR files must be read every 500 milliseconds. In the Scheduler tab, click Periodically in the Scheduler list, and then do the following:

  1. In Start Date, select the current date.

  2. In Period (in ms), type 500.

After it is executed, the scenario is launched every 500 milliseconds.

 

Next step: Save your scenario.
