Converting the CAST model to Supply Chain Guru X

You use a Model Transformation called CAST Conversion to convert your CAST model to Supply Chain Guru X.

  1. Run Supply Chain Guru X and open a new model.
  2. Select Model > Model Transformations.
  3. Select CAST Conversion.
  4. Enter or select values for the transform parameters:
    • Server Name – The current SQL Server LocalDB instance name (typically “GURU-<username>”).
    • CAST Model – This is the name of the CAST model to convert. It is the name of the CAST model you restored in SQL Server Management Studio.
    • Current Model – This is the name of the current (new) model. The transformation will populate this model based on the data in the CAST Model.
    • CAST Scenario ID – This is the CAST scenario you want to convert.
    • Customer Prefix – Enter the prefix for records that are customers. The value will be prepended to the CAST Customer Code when creating Customer records. The default is CUS_.
    • Location Prefix – Enter the prefix for CAST records that are locations. The value will be prepended to the CAST Location Code when creating Site records. The default is LOC_. Do not leave this value null or the conversion may not be successful.
    • Supplier Prefix – Enter the prefix for CAST records that are suppliers. The value will be prepended to the CAST Supplier Code when creating Site records. The default is SUP_. Do not leave this value null or the conversion may not be successful.
  5. Click Run. The transformation runs and populates the Current Model with data from the CAST Model.
  6. Click Yes when prompted to reload the model.
