Setting the Date/Time Period for Burn Down Calculations

It is important that the date/time period specified in P6 EPPM under the Administration, Application Settings, Services, Publication Period section is later than the latest project finish for ALL project(s) that will be included for Burn Down.

For example, in P6 EPPM Publication Services settings, if you specify a start date of February 25, 2020 and the finish date is current date plus setting is two years, the finish date for all of the Burn Down/Work Planning project(s) must have a finish date before February 24, 2022. If a project extends past the finish date setting in the publication services settings, the Burn Down portion of the STARETL process generates an error.

Note: Setting a finish date range that is too long will affect the STARETL process run time. Each day the publication services are run, the finish date range also extends by one day.
