Executing a scenario

Once you have created, and then saved a scenario with CAT Tool, you can trigger its execution in an import/export connector (IEC) application depending on the following modes:

• Stand-alone (recommended)

• Remote

Whatever the mode, each scenario is scheduled depending on the scheduler configuration.

Preparing a scenario to be executed in stand-alone mode

You do the following:

1. Create a new scenario with the CAT Tool user interface

2. Save the scenario in a directory

3. Execute the scenario by an IEC application

You can view, and then modify an existing scenario that is saved in a directory.

Preparing a scenario to be executed in remote mode

You do the following with CAT Tool:

1. Create a new scenario

2. Register the remote connector to which you want to export the scenario

3. Export the scenario to the connector repository of the selected IEC

4. Trigger the execution of this scenario by the remote IEC

You can import the scenario to view it, and then synchronize the scenario to modify it.

Connector address book

You use the addresses that are registered in the connector address book each time that you want to export, import, synchronize or execute a scenario.

Connector repository

A repository is assigned to each remote connector. In this repository, you can save many scenarios as illustrated below:

Each repository allows you to regroup scenarios depending on specific tasks relating to a connector.

You can:

• Save a scenario in a repository by exporting the scenario  

• Import a scenario from a repository to view, synchronize or execute the scenario

A connector can only execute the scenarios which are included in its repository. According to the previous illustration, if you want to execute the scenario_11 by the connector_2, you must first export the scenario_11 to the connector_2 repository.
