Product notes
The product notes include the following topics:
Disabling expansions in the simulation editor
In the interim fix 3, a new feature has been added, allowing you to disable the expansion of loops and processes in the simulation editor.
When you disable the expansion of the loops and processes, no data is generated for the use with the Expand all feature, thus decreasing memory usage when creating a simulation snapshot.
To disable the Expand all feature
1. On the menu bar, select Window > Preferences.
The Preferences window opens.
2. In the navigation pane, go to Business Modeling > Simulation > General.
3. In the Enable the expansion of all loops and subprocesses in Simulation editor radio group, select the No radio button.
Disabling reading from empty repositories
In the interim fix 3, a new feature has been added, allowing you to disable reading elements from empty repositories. When you select this preference, the system does not pull tokens from the empty elements in the repository.
To disable reading from the empty repositories
1. On the menu bar, select Windows > Preferences.
The Preferences window opens.
2. In the navigation pane, go to Business Modeling > Simulation > General.
3. In the Enable reading from empty repositories radio group, select the No radio button.
