insightdispatch

insightdispatch

Purpose
Call a procedure identified by annotations for current run mode
Synopsis
procedure insightdispatch
Example 
!@insight.execmodes.LOAD
public procedure myproc1
 ! Scenario is being 'loaded' through Xpress Insight
 ! Call user function to initialize input data and then terminate
 loaddata
end-procedure

!@insight.execmodes.RUN
public procedure myproc2
 ! Scenario is being 'run' through Xpress Insight
 ! Populate with Insight scenario data then call user function to solve model
 insightpopulate
 solvemodel
end-procedure

!@insight.execmodes.MY_CUSTOM_EXECUTION_MODE
public procedure myproc3
  ! This would be an execution mode defined with an @insight.execmodes
  ! annotation, to indicate some custom behavior
  insightpopulate
  ! Now take whatever custom action is appropriate...
end-procedure

!@insight.execmodes.NONE
public procedure myproc4
 ! Model is being run outside of Xpress Insight
 ! Call user function to initialize input data and call user function to solve model
 loaddata
 solvemodel
end-procedure

insightdispatch
Example of the basic flow of an Insight model, calling loaddata to populate the input data entities when the scenario is loaded or the model is run from outside of Insight, and insightpopulate to populate them when scenario is run within Insight.
Further information
This procedure can be used instead of a case statement on insightgetmode; instead you annotate a procedure to call for each for each execution mode then call insightdispatch. When you call insightdispatch, Insight will expect to find a single, no-argument procedure with the !@insight.execmodes.NAME annotation for each execution mode. At a minimum, if you use insightdispatch you should have procedures annotated @insight.execmodes.LOAD and @insight.execmodes.RUN to accomodate the two default execution modes.
