Forecast Settings - Interface



Settings / Forecast Settings - [Interface]
The options displayed on this tab control general aspects of the interface.  For consistency, every Integrator interface displays these options using the same set of fields.  This means that options that do not apply to this specific interface are still shown in this window but may be disabled.

Interface Status

This set of options determines whether forecast information will be transferred from Timberline Job Cost to Prolog Manager.
Value Description
Do not interface (Default) Select this option to prevent forecast information from being transferred.
One way, Timberline to Prolog Allows forecast information to transfer from Timberline to Prolog
One way, Prolog to Timberline Not supported (disabled)
Bi-directional Not supported (disabled)

Allow override

Check this box to allow the user to select or deselect this interface when running the Determine Modifications task.  If you want to ensure that this interface is always run, leave this box unchecked.  This box is checked by default.

Actions to perform - Add new records

This interface does not add any records to the Prolog Manager database.  Existing Budget records are updated therefore none of the options in this section are supported or enabled.

Actions to perform - Update existing records

Since this interface only sends information from Timberline to Prolog, the only option in this section is to update Prolog Manager records.

Retain history of exchanged data

Check this box to retain a copy of each modification that is performed.  This data is stored in a set of database tables in the Integrator database.  The names of these tables have a prefix of "History_".  Although the Integrator software does not provide a means to query this historical data, you may gain access to it for reporting using any number of query or reporting tools that can work with a SQL Server database.  Checking this box will result in the Integrator database growing in size each time you run the Perform Modifications task.  This box is not checked by default.

Master Database

This option has no impact on this interface.  Selection of a master database only applies to interfaces that provide bi-directional exchange of data.
