Validation and execution

On successful validation and execution of the macro, the selected cycle period is started, and the status is changed from Pending to Running. Also, the scenarios for the cycle period are created and the initialisation macros are executed.

These are the execution rules:

  • If the Cycle Period parameter is not populated, the Cycle Period with status Pending is changed to Started.
  • If the Cycle Period with Pending status is not available, the macro fails to execute.

This table lists the status of the cycle period and scenario that supports the macro execution:

Cycle Period Status Scenario Status Can Execute?
