Using the Save Case Management Tool
A study session ‘Save Case' is the collection of changes made during a study session. The Save Case Management tool displays a table with rows for any existing save cases. The tool allows you to create a new save case containing the changes made during a current study session or, like resetting your study session to Real-Time or Nominal mode, you may set your study session based on an existing save cases.
Note: Only topology changes are included in a save case.
Opening the Save Case Management Tool
If you are creating a new save case, you would perform device operations prior to opening the Save Case Management tool. Conversely, if you want to start a study session based on an existing save case, you would not want to perform any device operations because the model will be reset to the topology as it existed when the save case was created.
To open the Save Case Management tool, do the following:
2. From the Viewer's Options menu, select Study Mode, and then select Save Case Management....
Note: This option is also available from the Web Switching Steps tab's Reset context menu.

• Click No to go back to the Save Case Details dialog box and enter a new name and description.
If you select a row in the Save Case Management tool, but want to create a new save case, click outside of a table row to deselect the row.
Understanding the Save Case Details Dialog Box
The Save Case Details dialog box contains fields, buttons, and a data table listing the operations performed in a study session.
Save Case Details Fields
The Save Case Details dialog box contains the following fields and buttons:
• The Save Case field allows you to enter a name for the save case.
• The Description field allows you to enter a description for the save case.
Save Case Details Buttons

Viewing Device Event History
Event History offers a table summary of events for the currently selected device and optionally, all downstream devices. The events are chronologically ordered by start date with the most recent event being first, but can be sorted by any of the other columns by clicking on the column header. You can access Device Event History by selecting Device Event History... from the Viewer's right click context menu.
Note: Your system administrator sets up the columns available in the event history table by configuring the event_history database view.
Understanding the Select Scope Pane
This pane allows you to define both how many and what kinds of events are displayed, either by filtering the events to be fetched and/or by limiting the number of events fetched.
• Device Scope: Defines whether to fetch events for just the current device (default) or for all devices downstream of this device found by a trace.
Note: If the device is de-energized, a Nominal trace is used to find the downstream devices.
• Event Status Scope: Defines whether to fetch all events (default) or only either Completed or Incomplete events
• Event Type Scope: Defines whether to fetch all events or only either Outage or Non-Outage events.
• Max Events To Fetch: Defines the maximum number of events that match the above scope to fetch. Default is 50.
• Oldest Event To Fetch: Defines a time and date limit of how far back to fetch events. Events will be fetched from the current time back to the time/date defined here. Default is Not Set.
Understanding the Event History Pane
• The Event # column contains the unique number assigned to the event. The event number is also displayed in other Oracle Utilities Network Management System applications in order to track the status of the event.
• The Event Type column indicates whether the event is predicted or an actual outage - see Evt Type column in the Work Agenda.
• The Status column indicates whether the event is predicted or an actual outage. See Event Status Codes for a complete list of status codes and descriptions.
• The Start Time column contains the date and time when the event was reported to have begun.
• The Est Restore Date column contains the date and time when the event is expected to be resolved.
• The Restored Date column contains the date and time when the event was resolved. If this field is empty, then the event has not been completed.
• The Completed Date column contains the date and time when the event was completed. If this field is empty, the event has not been completed.
• The Cause column indicates the Primary Cause option selected when the event is completed; this columns will only be filled in for completed events.
• The Remedy column indicates the Remedy option selected when the event is completed; this columns will only be filled in for completed events.
If you select a row in the table, the context menu allows you to focus the Viewer on the event location or open Event Details.
Note: For some older completed events, the Event Details may not display as the event information may no longer be in the cache.
Understanding Operations Event Note Pane
The Operations Event Note field displays notes entered regarding the selected event. These notes may include crew remarks and resolution issues.
