Use the update earned value history - contracts job to calculate earned value for a contract or set of contracts and to create earned value snapshots of the time sliced data. The data is based on the earned value reporting period that the contract manager assigns to the contract and the parameters 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 uses the lag value to determine the day to take the snapshot. A snapshot is taken on the first day following the defined lag, provided you do not run the job on that day.
If you schedule this job to run monthly starting 2/1/11 with a lag of three days and you have associated the contract to an earned value reporting period whose period type is defined as Monthly and frequency is the first day of the month, a snapshot for January 2011 is generated only when the job runs on 2/04/11 or later.
