Validation and execution

A new planning engine is created for the specified cycle, on successful validation and execution of the macro.

These are the execution rules:

  • The status of the next planning engine for the cycle is set to Master.
  • The status of the planning engine used for creating the next planning engine is set to Published. The status of the remaining planning engines in the same cycle with a Running or Master status are set to Completed.
  • If the Cycle parameter is only specified, the next planning engine is derived from the planning engine with the Master status and matches the cycle.
    Note: Each cycle can only have one planning engine with the Master status.
  • The next planning engine for the cycle is created using the planning engine definition as defined in the previous planning engine. Possible scenarios:
    • If Refresh Planning Engine Definition is set to True, the planning engine definition is derived from the master planning engine definition.
    • If Refresh Planning Engine Definition is set to False, the planning engine definition is copied from the definition saved within the previous planning engine.
