Choose Project Zip
Click "Choose project zip" and select the .zip file that contains your Replicate project. It Depending on the size of the file it may take a few seconds moment for the file to upload.
Once the project has finished being uploaded, the Replicate Runner configuration options will be displayed.

The TSCC generates variants (called replicates) of an existing time series by repetitively 'cycling' the start of the time series to the end. The user can choose whether the data is cycled on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis. Table 1 2 lists the TSCC parameters.
Table
12. TSCC parameters.
| Parameters |
|---|
| Description | |
|---|---|
| Number of Replicates |
| The number of replicates (output time-series) that will be created | |
| Start Cycle Date |
The first data date that will be used by the TSCC to generate the replicates |
. This will default to the start date of the |
running configuration. |
| Start Reporting Year |
The year that the replicates will be reported as starting in (the replicates will always use the same start day and month as the input time-series). The Start Reporting Year |
cannot be after the Source simulation start date, as this will cause the simulation to fail. This will default to the |
year of |
the running configuration's start date. | |
| End Reporting Year | The year that the replicates will be reported as ending in. The End Reporting Year cannot be before the Source simulation end date, as this will cause the simulation to fail. This will default to the year of the running configuration's end date. |
Example
Consider a daily time-series that spans the following 10 year period: 1/01/2000, 2/01/2000, 3/01/2000, ..., 31/12/2009. The data is used by a model that simulates a 2 4 year period from 101/107/2004 to 3130/1206/20052008.
Running the TSCC with the following parameters would produce 3 4 replicates:
- Number of Replicates = 34
- Start Cycle Date = 101/01/20062005
- Start Reporting Year Replicates = 2004
- End Reporting Year = 2008
The start date for all the replicates would be reported as 1 replicate timeseries files will be 01/01/2004 (i.e. Start Year Replicates) (the first day of Start Reporting Year) and the end date would will be 31/12/20132008 (the last day of End Reporting Year).
The values of the replicates would be will be taken from the input timeseries files corresponding to the original values as follows:
Replicate 1: - the time series values would correspond to the following years of the original time-series (2006 is the Start Cycle Date): timeseries files:
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005.The model would
simulateuse the original
20062005 to
20072009 data for the simulation (
although itand would report this as being 2004 to
20052008).
Replicate 2: - the first year of replicate 1 (2000) would be moved to the end. Hence, the values of replicate 2 would correspond to the following years of the original time-series: timeseries files:
2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2000
The model would use the original 2006 to 2009 data, plus 2000 data (and would report this as being 2004 to 2008).
Replicate 3 - the first year of replicate 2 (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. The model would simulate the original 2007 to 2008 ) would be moved to the end. Hence, the values of replicate 3 would correspond to the following years of the original timeseries files:
2007, 2008, 2009, 2000, 2001
The model would use the original 2007 to 2009 data, plus the 2000 and 2001 data (and would report this as being 2004 to
20052008).
Replicate 3:4 - the first year of replicate 2 3 (2002) would be moved to the end. Hence, the values of replicate 3 4 would correspond to the following years of the original time-seriestimeseries files:
2008, 2009, 2000, 2001, 2002
, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. TheThe model would
simulateuse the original 2008
to 2009and 2009 data, plus the 2000 to 2002 data (and would report this as being 2004 to
20052008).

Job Outputs
Choose which outputs the user would like to store and be able to access on completion of the job.
Queue
The Queue enables the user to configure the job details, estimate costs, and send the job to the queue. Table 1 3 lists the configuration queue options.

Results
The Replicate Runner will provide the following result files in a zip:
- job.log - Log file containing information and messages generated during the Job
- A folder for each replicate run containing:
- results.res.csv - The Source results file for all recorders enabled in the Source project
- Replicate input timeseries files used for the run in the same folder structure as provided in the original zip file
