Scenario Data Repository (SDR) is Oracle database (Oracle repository) to store game data while game is being executed.
SDR obtains information via client programs: Scenario Data Client (SDC), After Action Review Client (AARC).
SDR, as well as Oracle database, supports open standards and data can be accessed by third-party applications, such as reporting tools.
SDR - the possibility of utilizationSDR - the possibility of utilization
Collecting information about events (AARC).
SDR enables:The analysis of the effects of the simulation requires:
Collecting information about events.
Tracking the status of simulated objects (SDC).
Accumulating information about the status of simulated objects.
Automatic accumulating of historical information.
=
Automatic accumulating of information about events and current game state.
At regular time intervals, automatically, copies to local Data Warehouse: information about events, information about current state of simulated objects (units,
targets, combat systems, supply categories), information of simulation state (operational time, game speed
etc).

About selection machineAbout selection machine
We use selection machine when we must: select the set of units at variance with command structure (e.g.
Task Forces, Operational Group), this selection is constant in time (or slowly changeable).
The Task Force RED_3 consist of 23DB.PD, 24DB.PD except 241BB.PD – (all with subordinates)
In selection machine we can use predefined selection.
