You can exit a project while an RSM design point update is in progress. During the update, while the one or more RSM jobs are running in the background, the Progress pane displays a project Status of Waiting for background task.
Note:
If you have submitted the Update All Design Points operation to RSM and are unable to exit the project because Workbench remains busy, see Suspending and Resuming Collection of RSM Design Point Results.
You cannot exit Workbench while job files are being uploaded. However, you can abort the job during the upload by clicking the stop button (
) in
the Progress bar.
For RSM jobs to continue to run after you exit the project, the project must be saved at least once after the design point update job was initiated.
If you attempt to exit a project while a design point 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 design point update job was initiated.
You have saved the project at least once after the same design point update was initiated, but design point results have been retrieved since your last save.
In either of these cases, if you do not save the project before exiting:
All design point results retrieved since the last Save operation are lost. However, if the project has been saved at least once since the update job was initiated, the results can be retrieved again when the project is reopened.
If the project has never been saved after the update job was initiated, all RSM jobs are aborted and show a Status of Cancelled. The cancelled icon (
) displays 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 you do save the project before exiting:
Retrieved design point results are saved to the project.
RSM jobs that are queued and running continue to run after you exit.
Jobs where the results have been saved show a Status of Finished. The finished icon (
) displays 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.
