Recording a Simulation Session : Saving and Restoring Status : Actions > Restore Status – Restoring the Status

Actions > Restore Status – Restoring the Status
1.
Select Actions > Restore Status. The Restore Status dialog box opens.
2.
Select the status file you want to restore from the Status Files list and select OK.

The Simulation Status saved in the selected file is restored.

When restoring a status, the Simulation tool checks the consistency between the current Simulation scope and the one in which the status was saved. When the two scopes are coincident, all saved values are restored. Attention must be paid to compound elements (their values are not saved, see below). Also, since you may wish to use different global/local clocks during the restoration, the Show Future command may show different times than when the status was saved.

To effectively use the restore status facility when the stored status is a subset of the restored status or vice versa, the following points apply:
Changes in the hierarchies of activities and/or states cause the saved status to become unrestoreable. This includes cases when a state/activity is added, removed or when it changes its place in the hierarchy.
When a textual element is deleted, its saved value is ignored at the time of restoration. When a new textual element is added, its current value remains unchanged after the restoration.
