Defining Scenario Usage Information

When you Create a New Scenario through the Scenario menu from the Sequence Scenario Editor dialog box, you must first specify the type of environment in which the new scenario is used. Following is a brief description of each possible option (available options are based on the scenarios you have chosen to include in your application and can include any or all of these):

• BRK (Break mode): Standard for production scenarios; all changes are tracked (no pattern can be modified without creating a new ID).
• EXP (Experimental mode): Used for development; enables a data miner to save changes with- out generating a new ID.
• SYS (System): Not used by scenario developers; applies to system scenarios. The SYS scenario code is used for user defined alerts. It is displayed in the scenario manager because it is a part of set of possible scenario use codes and is thus in the metadata. However, it is never used for scenarios as it is only attached to alerts that were defined by a user and not generated by scenarios. Only BRK and EXP should be used in the Scenario Manager when creating scenarios.

Scenarios are automatically changed from EXP to BRK mode when they are extracted using the Scenario Migration Utility. Scenario mode can also be adjusted by updating the KDD_SCNRO.SCNRO_USE_CD table. However, we do not recommend using this manual adjustment.

To define scenario usage information, follow these steps:

1. From the Windows menu, click Sequence Patterns.

   The Sequence Scenario Editor displays.

2. From the Scenario menu of the Sequence Scenario Editor, select Create New Scenario.
   The Select Use dialog box displays.
