Forcing the version of the response curves to use

Here is how to point to specific response curves when running a scenario, via the JSON editor.

The principle is that the Optimizer uses the "latest" response curves when running a scenario - but there is a way to explicitly tell the Optimizer what Response Curves to use: it's with the field RESPONSE_MODEL, which should be put at the same level as "USER_SETTINGS" in the payload:

The value of the timestamp should be passed in this field to point to the appropriate response curves.

In addition, for now there is a legacy field that should also be passed and coherent with the "response_model" version: the field "YEAR_OPTIMIZER", which as a value should have the value of the year of the starting period of the response curves: so:

• for the latest H2'22 refresh it should be "2022"
• for the fiscal year (previous refresh), it should be "2021"

So here in our example as we were using the latest response curves, we set it to 2022:

The values that should be used are the following:

• Latest Refresh H2'22, official version:
  • "response_model":"20230515_074830"
  • "YEAR_OPTIMIZER":"2022"
• Previous refresh (fiscal year):
  • "response_model":"20230324_124217"
  • "YEAR_OPTIMIZER":"2021"
