Tutorial 4 - Changing Simulation Properties

To simplify the simulation of Processes, TIBCO Business Studio provides default values for significant simulation parameters. These along with simulation parameters that you specify make up the Scenario that is used for simulation

1. Open the Claims Management Process that you created in the previous tutorial.
2. Click on the white area of the Lane where the Process is displayed.
3. Go to the Properties view and click the Simulation tab.
4. The simulation properties of the process are displayed. For example:
   

   This shows that from the Validate Policy Activity, the cases are distributed 50:50 to the Adjust Loss and Process Claimant Activities.

5. You can change this distribution of cases by changing the weighting. Click in the Weighting factors column and change the weighting to 30:10, which changes the Percentage to 75:25. In the following example, the Sequence Flows have been renamed as well:
   
6. Re-run the simulation and note in the Simulation Results view that the cases are now distributed according to the weighting that you entered:
   

   Now 75 cases are distributed to the Adjust Loss Activity versus 50 in the previous simulation run.
