Click on this button to reload DMN elements from the configured Packages. For example, when some DMN elements are modified, run this command to reload the Package so that the changes will be taken into account for DMN Simulation. |

Click on this button to export the 'name = value' records for the selected InputData and its specified Dataset to a BPMN 2.0 DataObject (write to the Notes). The values defined in the BPMN 2.0 DataObject will be read by the Enterprise Architect BPSim Execution Engine. |
DMNSimConfiguration Artifact
You can create a DMNSimConfiguration element in one of these ways:
- In the DMN Simulation Window, click on the on the toolbar
- On a Decision Requirements Diagram, drag the DMNSimConfiguration element from the toolbox
By default, all DMN elements in the current Package (Decision, BusinessKnowledgeModel, InputData ItemDefinition) will be loaded to the Simulation window.
Decision Hierarchy
When a Package is loaded, a Decision Requirements Graph (DRG) and decision dependency hierarchy are created. The DMN InformationRequirement connectors determine the hierarchy.
- All the decisions will be listed in the 'Target Decision' combo box
- When a 'Target Decision' is specified, all the dependent Decisions, invoked BusinessKnowledges, InputDatas and the typed ItemDefinitions will be determined
DataSet & Input Data
When the Target Decision is selected, all the dependent InputDatas are added to the list.
You can choose a dataset for simulation from the list of defined datasets of an InputData.
You can also change the dataset value in the list, if the ItemDefinition specifies an Allowed Value Enumeration. The auto-completion feature is supported and you can simply choose from a list of enumerations.
You can also edit the datasets for an InputData by clicking on the
on the toolbar to open the 'Dataset Edit' dialog.
