The Update Earned Value History job calculates earned value for a project or set of projects and creates earned value snapshots of the time sliced data. This data is based on the earned value reporting period assigned to the project and the parameters that you select. The earned value snapshot is used for historical earned value analysis (EVA) and reporting. The snapshots are stored in rows in the PRJ_EV_HISTORY (earned value history) table. You can use this reporting data to write reports.
This job invokes the Update % Complete job before it runs and completes. This job runs on a recurring schedule based on how often your organization reports on your earned value data. This job uses the lag value to determine the day to take the snapshot. A snapshot is taken on the first day following the defined lag, providing you do not run the job on that day.
