Saving and Retrieving a Session |

|
|
During an Automate session, you can save your work in progress, and at any given time reload the session and resume working from the exact point where you left off. This option preserves breakpoints in the process and retains the input and output content as well as the execution state information required for the process.
The file formats associated with this operation include the following:
| • | .prs file: Process file required to load or create a process. |
| • | .mvw file: Session file generated during the Session Save operation. |
| • | .pri file: Process Instance file generated during the Session Save option that points to the correct .prs file when a session file is loaded. The .pri file also retains the input and output content and the execution state information for the process. |
| 1. | From the HyperWorks Desktop File menu, select Save As > Session: |
Automate saves the session as a .mvw file and the process instance information as a .pri file.
| 1. | From the File menu, select Open > Session. |
When you open a session.mvw file, the .pri file is also loaded back and points to the correct process files for the session retrieval.
When a session is loaded, any breakpoints associated with the execution state are restored and the process resumes from the point at which it was stopped during the Save Session operation. Note that breakpoints are not taken into account during the execution if the Examine mode is off.
