Exit Conditions, Exits and Decision Making!

I’ve been building CORE and GENESYS models for quite a while now, and I’ve noticed a few common mistakes engineers new to modeling make, especially when it comes to the lack of using Exit Conditions and Exits. I’ve detected a reluctance in those new to modeling to use the exit …

Configuration Management in GENESYS: Part II

Welcome back to my discussion on configuration management in GENESYS! In my last post on this subject I went through a couple of different concepts, starting with the different levels of data that GENESYS is tracking in regard to changes, then onto the concept of baselining and finally revisioning your …
