Concurrent Forecast Calculations

Cobra leverages the PM Compass Process Server to support concurrency in running forecast calculations on batches of control accounts.

For example, a project can be split into multiple jobs, with each job processing a different batch of control accounts concurrently.

Note: The concurrent forecast calculations is not yet supported in the Cobra API.

Before You Begin

Before you use this feature, it is important to understand the following information and requirements:
  • You must fully understand the requirements and the steps in setting up your environment to run a concurrent process. Refer to Deltek PM Compass and Cobra Concurrency Solution Setup and Configuration Guide.
  • Concurrent forecast calculations can only be run against a single project.
  • Concurrent forecast calculations do not support Frozen Forecast classes.
  • The apportionment mapping target is set to <Same as Source> or <Same as Source> \ WP for all control accounts in the apportionment mapping definition.
  • The number of control accounts to process per batch must be specified in the Control Accounts per queue field on the Data Access tab of the Application Preferences dialog box.
