Ok, so I have successfully got my model to work in batch mode ! :)
Am VERY happy!
The key things seems to be that you can only access parameters from the batch_params.xml file that have been explicitly set up within the model to be controlled by the user (i.e. included within the parameters.xml file in the 'projectName'.rs folder of the project.
Also, if there are any parameters set up in this way that are not included in the batch_params.xml file, the model will not run in batch mode. This only seems to apply to parameters included in the contextCreator file, not those set up within other classes of the model.
Some information seems to be misleading.... in the previous batch post I alluded to a webpage that might be useful from the repast.sourceforge website. This information relates to running a model in batch mode but goes through a quite complicated scenario of installing GridGain and using this to run the model.
This is NOT required to run a simple batch run within eclipse on the local computer. It appears to be most useful for distributing the model to other sources, and using grid computing to run batches...
I doubt I'll need anything quite this complicated as of yet....
Today is a good repast day!
