Understanding Inter-scenario Data Access

Inter-Scenario data access is a feature that allows an Xpress Insight scenario to use data from another Xpress Insight scenario anywhere else in the repository.
Inter-scenario data access can be used to perform, for example, the following tasks:
  • Using the results of one scenario in the construction of another.
  • Accessing scenarios that contain some common, user-specified data.
Covered Topics
  • Using Inter-scenario Data Access
    Data from external scenarios can be accessed using the mminsight.scenariodata I/O driver with a standard Mosel initializations from block.
  • Repository Paths
    Scenarios are identified by a repository path. As with a regular file-system path, this path allows a scenario to be specified by its position in the repository tree.
  • Supported Types
    The local variables you specify in the initializations from block must have the same types as the entities in the external scenario.
  • Limitations
    Access to external scenarios is covered by the standard Xpress Insight access and authorizations system.
