Abstract

Baseline data may be generated, including copying selected data from a planning database. Modifying requests associated with changes to a derived simulation may be received, and affected entries within the baseline data that are affected by the modifying requests may be determined. Simulation entries may be stored within a derived simulation dataset, the simulation entries corresponding to the affected entries within the baseline data. A mapping may be provided between the simulation entries within the derived simulation dataset and the affected entries within the baseline data. The derived simulation may be provided in response to the modifying requests and based on the mapping.
