Refresh business metric values for a cycle
Business Metrics are used to specify the measures and calculations that are stored at the specified dimension elements, for export. The metrics are also used to search and generate notifications for specific values. However, these values must be modified (requires an update of the data) when you perform certain actions, that require the retrieval of the latest values.
The actions that trigger an update (refresh) of the business metric values:
| Action (macro command) | Description |
|---|---|
| CallForecastEngine | When the spreading measure is specified as a
parameter or is defined in the forecast engine settings.
Note: The business metrics values for History, Weight, or Mask
measures, configured based on the Forecast Engine settings, are not updated.
|
| CopyCyclePeriodData | When a measure is specified as a parameter or all the related business metrics (for the source module) are specified as the parameter. |
| CopyLastPeriodMeasure | When a measure is specified as a parameter or all the related business metrics (for the module) are specified as the parameter. |
| CopyScenarioData | When a measure is specified as a parameter or
all the related business metrics (for the module) are specified as the
parameter.
Note: This is only applicable when you copy a scenario, using the
macro command.
|
| RunMapping | When a measure is specified as a parameter, or all related business metrics (for the source module) are specified as the parameter. |
| Supersession | When a measure is specified as the From
measure code parameter.
Note: The macro supports multiple levels (such as A > B >
C). However, it is not optimal to refresh business metric values only at the
start of the process; because the data is used later in the process and is
updated because of the supersession link (for example, the value of A is
transferred to B, and consequently must be updated before the value is
transferred to C). Therefore, the data for each element and the related item
must be updated.
|
| Scenario value exports (manual or RunInterfaceService) | When a measure is specified for the interface service, or all related business metrics (for the module) are specified as the parameter. |
Note: Select the
After Saving Scenario Changes
check box, in the Automatically Update Business Metric pane to update the
values when you save the changes in a scenario.
