Run the Create Hybrid Time Hierarchies Scheduled Process

To create hybrid time hierarchies for a selection of calendars for your demand plan, you need to run the Create Hybrid Time Hierarchies scheduled process.

You typically run the Create Hybrid Time Hierarchies scheduled process only once when you set up your plan. You don't need to rerun the scheduled process unless you change the start date, end date, or both of one of your selected calendars.

If you rerun the scheduled process, you also need to rerun your plan with the Refresh with current data option selected on the Parameters tab in the Run Plan dialog box.

Follow these steps to run the scheduled process:

1. Click Navigator > Tools > Scheduled Processes.

   The Scheduled Processes work area opens.

2. Click Schedule New Process.

   The Schedule New Process dialog box opens.

3. Search for the Create Hybrid Time Hierarchies job, and click OK.

   The Process Details dialog box opens.

4. Optionally, select the Notify me when this process ends check box, and enter submission notes.
5. Under Basic Options, in Calendars, select the check boxes for the calendars for which you want to create hybrid time hierarchies.

   You can select a maximum of three calendars of the fiscal, Gregorian, and manufacturing types. One of the calendars you select must be of the manufacturing type. You can't select more than one calendar of a particular type.

6. Click Submit.

   The Confirmation dialog box opens. Note the process ID.

7. Click OK.
8. Search for the submitted scheduled process by its process ID.
9. After the scheduled process runs successfully, click it to see the Process Details and Status Details tabs.
10. On the Process Details tab, open the log file.

    The log file lists the selected calendars and time range, names, and IDs of the created time hierarchies.

    Note down these details for use when you create your plan and tables and graphs.
