Recording a Journal

Follow the steps described below to record a journal and then to playback a journal interactively. To use the command window, see Using the Command Window.

To record a journal:

  1. From the menu bar, select File > Scripting > Record Journal.

  2. Specify the name and location of the journal file and click Save.

  3. Use the user interface to work through your analysis as you normally would.


    Note:  Not all actions are journaled—only actions that change project data. Some examples of actions that are not journaled include:

    • Interface-only actions, such as:

      Interrupting a Solve operation
      Launching help (including quick help and the Sidebar Help pane)
      Running the View Solver Output option from VistaTF's Solution cell.
    • Actions taken in some data-integrated applications; see Scripting and Data-Integrated Applications.


  4. From the menu bar, select File > Scripting > Stop Recording Journal.

  5. A message appears informing you that the recording will stop. Click OK.
