Auto time stream generation after calendar change

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a need to automatically generate time streams by report in background.

Normally any change (especially holiday changes or maintenance changes) in calendar is updated first in ECC calendar which is then updated in APO calendar. This change has to be included in the generated time stream which is already created out of those calendars. At present this time stream generation is happening manually when users report any discrepancy finding that they have found in the planning results (which would have old time stream generated not having the calendar change). Sometimes it becomes late for correcting the planning situation. So we would want APO to generate these time streams through regular background job whenever the corresponding calendar has been changed.

Is there any option / alternative available to do this ?

Kindly comment.

Hi Durai,

Run program: /SAPAPO/TIMESTREAM_UPDATE. It is used to generate the time stream in background.

Also, please read this document:

Thanks Mariano. Report /SAPAPO/TIMESTREAM_UPDATE helped to address our issue.

Hi, I have a question here around TimeStreams too. Our TimeStreams are setup n years in the past and future. I was informed that they auto roll forward to maintain the past/future settings but this is not the behaviour I'm seeing. Does anyone know the behaviour of Timstream as they move from one year to the next or is there some info somewhere that describes how they should be maintained.

Thanks

Andrew,

Timestreams do not 'auto roll forward'.  The program mentioned earlier in the thread can be run periodically to regenerate timestreams.

For more info, refer to OSS note 1245264.

On a similar subject, you may want to consider running /SAPAPO/CRES_CREATE_LC_RES periodically as well, if you are using Resources.

Best Regards,
