Subject : RE: "Use DSS Results" has no effect in PortSim
Posted : 2/4/2013 10:27 AM
Post #27849 - In reply to #27847

Hi Barry,
I started with a Focus List that did NOT have DSS activated in the ToDoList DSS tab. I observed the PortSim results. THEN, I activated DSS in the FocusList ToDoList DSS tab. Reran the analysis, went to PortSim, and compared that with what I had earlier. And the results changed as a result from the non-DSS simulation done before I activated DSS. DSS improved the results.

But, checking/unchecking the "Use DSS results" checkbox, and then rerunning the simulation does not result in any change in the results. NOTE: I could go back to the FocusList and deactivate DSS, and then rerun the analysis, and then return to PortSim, and observe the results without DSS. But in that case, the "Use DSS results" checkbox isn't available, because DSS has been deactivated in the FocusList ToDoList DSS tab.

You asked: "If you are looking at the Focus List, press the DSS button and press it again. Do you see the analysis change?"

I'm not sure which button you are referring to. I'm referring to the "Use DSS results" button in PortSim mode. Toggling it, and rerunning the PortSim does not have any effect. But I agree, that activating/deactivating DSS in the FocusList ToDoList DSS tab does change the results.

My point is the button in PortSim does not produce any change when deactivated. As far as I can tell, it is ALWAYS active if DSS is activated in the FocusList ToDoList DSS tab. And by the way, the "Use DSS results" button is only available if DSS has been activated.
