Example 4 – Using the count and quiet options

The count command line option provides the ability to use a small set of decision data (or even one) to drive the Business Rules Server with many decision request messages. The quiet option restricts the output to the file banners and the timing summaries. Use these together to stress the Business Rules Server.

In this example, count was set to 10000.

========================= End Of File ===========================

It is important to ensure that the set of DD lines is last in the input file and that only one ID line is present. The count option still works, but if either of these conditions is not true, the simulator starts at the beginning of the file, rather than using the first DD line in the list.
