The Forecast utility is a stand-alone process that populates and updates various summary tables with information from selected business events. Summary tables -- such as reservation summary and others -- provide fast access to the real-time information displayed on Dashboard Tiles and in various OPERA Cloud reports.
The utility automatically checks for new business events to process every few seconds. It provides Events Pending status and Events Failed status. It also provides the following:
Instance ID indicating the number of instances run.
ID indicating a system assigned number.
Session ID indicating the session identification number.
Status indicating the process is currently running or waiting.
Events Read indicating the number of business events processed since the Forecast utility was last started.
You can manually start or stop processing or click the Refresh Data button to force immediate processing of business events.
