This program updates the base summary with changes in source transactions such as new time cards, other new and modified costs, commitments, revenue, effort, and earned value. In addition, this program updates the base summary for new or changed resource breakdown structures..
Periodically submit this program to update the base summary created by the PRC: Load Project and Resource Base Summaries program. In addition, submit this program after the PRC: Process Resource Breakdown Structure Updates program completes successfully to update the base summary with changes in the primary reporting resource breakdown structure for the project. You can submit this program at any time and as many times as necessary during the project life cycle. After this program completes successfully, you can submit the following program:
PRC: Update Project Performance Data: Submit this program to further summarize the updated base summary data for project-level reporting in Oracle Projects.
Instead of separately submitting the PRC: Update Project and Resource Base Summaries and the PRC: Update Project Performance Data programs, you can alternatively submit the PRC: Update Project Reporting Base Summaries and Performance Data request set to run both programs.
Use the Submit Request window to submit the PRC: Update Project and Resource Base Summaries program.
Note: You can run only one instance of this program at a time. If you submit this program more than once, then Oracle Projects waits for a running instance to complete before starting the next instance.
