Forecast Manager Administration
If you use this option of the Forecast Manager to recollect data,
Caution
CMS will delete all data previously stored in the forecast input
tables. Therefore, if you recollect data, you should specify a
range that includes all forecast input days you need, from some
date in the past (usually 397 days ago if you use seasonal
trending) up to yesterday.
If the CMS database no longer contains historical data for the
dates you want to recollect, the Forecast Manager cannot
collect that data for the forecast input tables. For example, if the
Data Storage Allocation stores 31 days of intrahour split/skill
data and 365 days of daily split/skill data, the Forecast Manager
can only collect 31 days and 365 days of input data,
respectively.
Start date (mm/dd/yy or -n):
Enter a relative day as a negative number (for example, -397 for the
day one year and one month ago) or a date in mm/dd/yy format to specify
the day from which the Forecast Manager should begin to re-collect data.
This date must be farther in the past than the Stop date (mm/yy/dd
or -n): field indicates.
