ExecutionMode

An ExecutionMode represents the various ways of executing a model. Two modes, named LOAD and RUN, are defined for all apps, but others can be specified as part of the model. The name of an execution mode may optionally passed to ScenarioProperties#execute to specify how the execution is to take place.

Method summary

name description
clearsInputData Whether use of this execution mode will cause input data to be cleared. The LOAD execution mode has this property set.
getDescription Descriptive text about the execution mode.
getName Name of the execution mode.
getNumberOfThreads Returns either a number representing a positive integer (denoting the number of threads this execution mode is limited to), or undefined (denoting no limit at all). This representation means that the result of this method can be used in a conditional expression to test if there is a thread limit; and further, if there is no limit, use of it in an arithmetic expression will treat it as if it were NaN.
sendsProgress Check whether the execution mode sends progress updates. This is only supported in Insight 5, it will always return false when running in Insight 4.
