The Reel Playback
utility replays previously logged events to the Event Processor.
The purpose of this utility is to take logged events, both spool movements and product
movements/changes, and send those transactions through the Event Processor at either the
original transactions speed or accelerated to review past movements or to simulate
operations. Transactions would be sent to an Event Processor that is separate from
the production system so as not to send erroneous/duplicate data.
The screen below shows a typical ReelPlay display.
In this application you can select a time frame during which records are to be selected
for playback. You can also specify that only specific Items and/or Locations are to
be selected. The playback speed allows for accelerated playback through the Event
Processor, this prevents you from having to review transactions in real-time. At the
bottom of the screen the actual record selection criteria is displayed. The
following explains the buttons displayed.
