Exiting a Project During a Remote Solve Manager Solution Cell Update

You can exit a project while a Solution cell update using Remote Solve Manager (RSM) is in progress (one or more RSM jobs are running in the background and the Progress pane displays a project status of Waiting for background task).


Note:  You cannot exit Workbench while job files are being uploaded. You can abort the job during the upload by using the Stop button in the Progress bar.


The project must be saved at least once after the Solution cell update job was initiated for RSM jobs to continue to run after you exit the project.

If you attempt to exit a project while a Solution cell update job is still running, the following scenarios cause a dialog box to open, allowing you to specify whether you want to save the project before exiting:

  • You have never saved the project at any time after the same Solution cell update job was initiated.

  • You have saved the project at least once after the same Solution cell update was initiated, but results have been retrieved since your last save.

In either of these cases, if you do not save the project before exiting:

  • All results retrieved since the last save operation are lost. You must save the project before exiting if you want to keep any of results retrieved since the last save of the background Solution cell update.

  • If the project has never been saved after the Solution cell update job was initiated, all RSM jobs are aborted and display a status of Cancelled and the cancelled icon ( ) in the RSM List pane; the asterisk on the icon indicates that the job has also been released. When you reopen the project, it is in the state of your last manual save.

  • If the project has been saved at least once after the Solution cell update job was initiated, RSM jobs that are queued and running continue to run after you exit. When you reopen the project, you can resume the update of the pending jobs to reconnect and download the results.

If you do save the project before exiting:

  • Retrieved results are saved to the project.

  • RSM jobs that are queued and running will continue to run after you exit.

  • Jobs where the results have been saved display a Status of Finished and the finished icon ( ) in the RSM List pane; the asterisk on the icon indicates that the job has also been released.

  • Jobs where results have not yet been saved are not released upon exit. When you reopen the project, you can resume update of the pending jobs to reconnect and download the results.
