Developing an App with Xpress Insight

This section offers more depth on how to create apps with Xpress Insight.

Some of the concepts will be new, while you will have met others in earlier chapters.

Covered Topics
  • How Xpress Insight Interacts with a Mosel Model
    Xpress Insight executes Mosel models by using the XPRD library to send the model to an xprmsrv instance using the Mosel Distributed Framework.
  • Xpress Insight Model Requirements
    Mosel model developers must implement several behaviors in a model to use it in Xpress Insight.
  • Supported Mosel Features, Types and Data Sources
    In general, so long as the requirements listed previously are met by a model, Xpress Insight places no restrictions on the programmatic execution of a model.
  • The Xpress Insight Repository
    An app is the top-level node in the repository.
  • The App
    Apps can be added to the system by uploading ZIP archives containing all required files.
  • Custom Execution Modes
    Execution modes allow for two forms of control in your app.
  • Data Management and Scalability
    When the first scenario of an app is loaded, the schema of the model is captured.
  • Basic Presentation Customizations
    Earlier, a model was loaded into the Xpress Insight application with the minimal required changes. Once deployed, the named entities in the model are presented to the user unchanged, and anonymous entities in the model are not visible.
  • Debugging Aids
    Xpress Insight provides a fully-featured debugger which is seamlessly accessed from Xpress Workbench.
  • Using Attachments
    The web client provides a way to attach files to an app and individual scenarios. These attachments can be accessed from Mosel, providing another way to interact with the model.
