8.1 About Administrative Utilities

Several database utilities that configure and perform system pre-processing and postprocessing activities are not tied to the batch process cycle:

• Managing Scenario Migration Utility: Extracts scenarios, datasets, networks, and associated metadata from a database to flat files and loads them into another environment.
• Managing the Threshold Editor: Allows you to run the same scenario multiple times against a variety of sources (for example, exchanges, currencies, or jurisdictions) with separate threshold values for each source.

Common Resources for Administrative Utilities

Configuration files enable the utilities to share common resources such as database configuration, directing output files, and setting up logging activities.
