In the new version of  aimms, the “data manager button” does not exist. 

I used to run multiple instances as a batch file using the data manager. 

I saw the “select multiple case files option” but I could not figure out how to use it

to run a set of instances automatically. 

I appreciate any help in advance.

Hello Sara,

 

Indeed, the functionality you describe is not available since AIMMS 4.86.

Please note, however, it is easily coded in an AIMMS procedure. Assuming you have created a selection of cases in CurrentCaseSelection, and you selected the procedure pr_computeTotPrice to be applied to all cases selected, the code to run a batch is then as follows:

 

Procedure MainExecution {

    Body: {

        ep_proc := StringToElement( AllProcedures, "pr_computeTotPrice", 0 );

        for IndexCurrentCaseSelection do

            sp_fn := CaseFileURL( IndexCurrentCaseSelection );

            CaseFileLoad(sp_fn);

        

            apply( ep_proc );

        

            CaseFileSave( sp_fn, AllIdentifiers );

        endfor ;

    }

    StringParameter sp_fn;

    ElementParameter ep_proc {

        Range: AllProcedures;

        Default: 'MainExecution';

    }

}

 

Imho, as the way the batch is structured, you now have a lot more flexibility in handling the batch.  For instance, you can store the output in a separate folder, instead of overwriting the input case (not shown in the above).

 

Does this help?

 

With kind regards,

 

Chris
