To configure the GAP connector, you must create a configuration file with the parameters listed below and the common connector configuration parameters. The file must be in YAML format.

Minimal YAML configuration file

Use the minimal configuration file as a starting point for your configuration settings.

Connector

Several connector settings can be configured in the connector section of the configuration file. The only required parameter is connector.data-set-id.

Automation

This section includes the parameters for configuring the PETEX OpenServer connection. This is configured in the automation section of the configuration file. For stable runs, let the connector manage the simulator process lifecycle. When you set simulator-executable-path, the connector starts and terminates the simulator processes, which reduces orphaned processes and licenses being held after runs complete.
By default, the connector only obtains a license when needed. However, if the license hold time is set to a period more than 60s, the connector retains the license for the specified period after the last simulation run or model revision validation. This improves throughput for batched simulation runs by avoiding the overhead of repeatedly opening and closing the simulator.
