We currently dump out the entire contents of the model run into a gdx using the command:
execute_unload "results\%RUNNAME%_XXX_dump.gdx";
Our issue is there are some very large reporting parameters that we want to exclude from this dump, we explicitly save these into their own separate gdx file.
Is there a way we can do a general dump of everything EXCEPT for a list of specified parameters?
Cheers
Andrew, Nope this does not exist. There are some complex ways to accomplish this. You could get at compile a list of a known symbols (e.g. via embedded code Python) and create an include file that has the execute_unload statement followed by the list of all symbols minus the ones you don’t want. This include file you include at compile time.
Perhaps, for an easy workaround, you could kill those big parameters just before dumping everything out: option kill=big1,kill=big2,...,kill=bigN;
Should they be still needed after that dump, reading them in again from the separate gdx file would most likely cause much less overhead than including them in the dump.
Nice idea Aleh! I’ll give that a crack
