Manually Start the Data Refresh Process

To manually start the data refresh process, complete the following steps:

  1. In Reports & Actions, select M.A.M.4 Manually Start Data Refresh Process.

M.A.M.4 enables you to start the data refresh process immediately, rather than waiting until the nightly scheduled refresh, which happens at 2 AM.

NOTE for GCS clients: You must launch a manual refresh each month and at the beginning of each FY before you go to the General Ledger in GCS and process the Print GL/Close Accounting Period File. This file is used for a monthly close as well as a Fiscal Year close. The manual refreshes will ensure that your data is updated properly in B&P.

  1. Click to open the dialog box. Read the caveats that are summarized. Doing the refresh during normal working hours will cause reports to display no or incomplete data, so warn your users ahead of time, should you decide to do this.

  2. Click Submit to start the refresh process.

  3. Click Close to close the dialog box.
