Management

Creating and Updating​

The recommended setup is to store goals/rules/conditions/constraints (hereafter called "peripheral code") in one or more repositories outside Aerie, and uploading them through the UI.

For example, after creating a new goal as described in the following pages, you can upload it with the UI by selecting New on the Scheduling option in main top-left dropdown. Or, you can upload it with an automatic association with your plan by opening the Scheduling Goals pane in your plan, and navigating to Manage Goals -> New. Here you have the option to either upload a JAR file, or copy-paste a typescript eDSL file.

Model and Plan Association​

In Aerie, peripherals live independently of plans and models, and can be associated with any number of plans and models, or none at all. Each model and plan has a scheduling specification and a constraints specification, which is simply a list of peripherals to run during the scheduling or constraints actions, respectively.

Model specifications are never run directly, and instead populate the default spec for any plans created from that model. So if a particular constraint is widely applicable to all plans made from a particular model, you can associate it with the model by navigating to Models -> <select your model> -> Edit details ... -> Constraints -> Library. Click the checkbox on your constraint and select Save. Now any new plans made with this model will include your constraint in its specification.

Peripherals that don't apply to all plans for a model can be associated with individual plans too. In the main plan view, navigate to the Scheduling Goals or Constraints pane, then click Manage. Click the checkbox for your peripheral and select Save.

Version Locking​

Peripheral associations can be locked to a specific revision, on either the model or plan specification. In the specification, you can change Always use latest to a revision number of your choice.

Deleting​

Peripherals can be deleted in the UI by navigating to the Scheduling or Constraints view in the top left, and deleting them there. This action can't be done if the peripheral is being used by a plan or model.
