Subject: Automate optimization runs?
I'm afraid I already know the answer to this, but...
Is there any way to automate optimization runs in TS4? I want to
test a system over a broad range of data, and that requires changing
the date &etc before each run. Doing that by hand is painfully slow
and error-prone.
As far as I know TS doesn't support this. I'd like to have some way
to "drive" TS from another process so I could set up a series of
optimization runs and let it run overnight. Does anyone know of a
way to do this?
A while back someone (sorry, forgot his name) posted an Excel macro
that lets you change the SYMBOL in a chart and thereby cause the
system to be run again on the new system. If I have to, I may try to
modify this tool to change data dates, modify system parameters, and
set up new optimization runs. I can do all that via typing and
keyboard shortcuts. (The Excel macro uses the SendKeys statement to
"type" into the TS window.) I haven't used VBA but I can figure it
out if I have to. But even if I get it to run the system, I don't
see how I can save out the optimization reports from each run, since
that requires mouse clicks on the "Copy" or "Save to File" icons on
the optimization report, and SendKey doesn't do mouse clicks... Is
there any other way to save the optimization results?
If someone has a better solution, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks!
Gary
