• The most important update in the latest version is the ability to import set definitions from Excel. You can create sets for VBE/VFE using the standard Process/Commodity filtering approach that is used in ~TFM tables.
o There are no restrictions on naming this file or it’s sheets.
o You can have multiple PSet/CSet tables in a file.
• ResultDBMaker is a new application which imports VD file into an ACCESS database (in GAMS_Wrk folder) automatically after a run finishes. VEDA-BE import process moves this database to the VEDA-BE folder and the import time reduces significantly. This application runs only in minimized mode, so you will only see its icon in the task bar. And the GAMS_Wrk folder it is working in will not be visible in VEDA-BE while this application is working.
o This is not very useful if you are making one run at a time and actively waiting for each one to finish. But very useful if VEDA is running unattended in batch model.
• Toolbox (right edge of application window) for easy access of frequently used features.
• “SourceScen“ new column for UPD table to filter the scenario to be used to get seed values
• Common license database for VEDA-FE and VEDA-BE. License information is no longer saved in Registry.
• QA_Check.Log will open after the run if there are fatal errors reported.
• Scenario names can be long - up to 255 characters
• Double click on Process/Commodity label on Master form will open the Process/Commodity table where they have been defined.
• Search box on navigator: Filter items in navigator and case manager by name.
• List of Veda tables which are used in current model.
• Any of the lists on Navigator can be zoomed in by single click on the Section’s Label. Useful when there are long scenario names or when the list is long.
• VEDA will log every SYNC operation in VEDA_Models\\Logs\ Folder
• Option to process only those files that were already included in the model, at the time of “Start from Scratch”
• Scenarios can be sorted alphabetically (within their group) on the case manager.
• UserOptions
o Option to add date time stamp on VD files (and scenario names)
o Option to use UTC time code as SaveCode
• Attributer Master
o List of attributes can be exported as HTML / Excel
o Option to show only those attributes that are used in the current model
• Solve form + Control Panel
o Discrete Unit Commitment (new switch in TIMES Extension section)
o VEDA can generate DD files if GAMS_SRC is missing
• Bug fixes
o Formatting bug fix on solve form
o Some discontinued controls removed from UserOptions
o Better import errors reporting
o Others
