# xpressinsight.scenario.InsightRestClient.execute_scenario

Purpose
Execute the scenario, optionally waiting for the job to complete.
Synopsis
`xpressinsight.scenario.InsightRestClient.execute_scenario(self, scenario_id: str, execution_mode: str = 'RUN', wait_time: Optional[datetime.timedelta] = None) -> None`
Arguments

scenario_id | The ID of the scenario to execute.
execution_mode | The name of the execution mode to execute. Defaults to 'RUN' if unset.
wait_time | Amount of time to wait for scenario to complete. If not specified, the function returns immediately.

Return value

This function may raise the following errors:

scenario.ScenarioTimeOutError

  If the Insight scenario execution did not complete within the given wait time.

scenario.InsightServerError

  If the REST client credentials do not have permission to perform this operation, or there is an issue communicating with the Insight server.

Example
Execute the scenario and wait up to 30 minutes for it to complete.

    >>> with ins.InsightRestClient(insight_url='http://localhost:8080/') as client:
    ...     client.execute_scenario('570b9100-46e3-4643-baee-2e24aa538f25',
    ...                             wait_time=timedelta(minutes=30))

Further information
1. The method execute_scenario is part of the class xpressinsight.scenario.InsightRestClient.
2. If a wait time is specified, the function blocks waiting for the scenaio and raises a ScenarioTimeOutError if the scenario execution does not finish within the specified time. Note the job is not automatically cancelled, so you must call scenario.InsightRestClient.cancel_job if you need to do this.
3. If a wait_time value is not specified, the function returns immediately after the job is accepted by the Insight server.
4. This function does not check whether any errors were encountered during the execution of the scenario.
