Validation and execution
The Planning Engine data is downloaded to the specified file data source in a zip file format, on successful validation and execution of the macro. The zip file includes model data and versioned configuration of the Planning Engine. If the file name already exists, the file is overwritten with the latest file.
These variables are used for the File name parameter:
- %Source%: The name of the Planning Engine
- %date%: UTC date at run time in yyyymmdd format
- %time%: UTC time at runtime in hhmiss format
- %datetime%: UTC date and time at runtime in yyyymmdd hhmiss format
- Application variables can be used and are substituted at run time.
