Generating Scenarios

Any network strategy can be modeled using statistics gathered from the current environment,

standard NetBase reports and the scenario generator NBLGTRAN. The statistics provide the file and

program activity. The reports display the information, and the scenario generator transforms the

statistics to reflect the desired configuration.

NBLGTRAN creates new statistic log files from existing files, editing the file as it is being processed.

Based on specifications entered into a scenario file, NBLGTRAN consolidates, excludes and/or

relocates files and programs into the new log file.

The scenario file is an unnumbered ASCII file that is created and maintained using any text editor.

The format of the records contain a record type and data description. The record type indicates the

action that is to be taken while the data description describes what data is to be acted upon.
