BacoProcessRatios.exe - Background process

BacoProcessRatios.exe - Calculates financial indicators

Basic functions

This process is scheduled to recalculate indicator values (aggregate data per indicator, division, year, period, scenario) after 'Closing Financial Periods' only.

Note: Indicators are updated automatically (not scheduled) by e-Synergy when the following occurs

Processing of budget entries

Undoing of the processing of budget entries

Rebuilding Balance / P & L sheets

After validating financial entries

After changing the 'Type' in the Entry report.

Scheduling

This should be scheduled at the customers discretion, but it is recommended to run the process at least once a day at an off-peak time.

Security

It is required that the user is a known user of e-Synergy and that the user has access to the installation server.
The application uses integrated security. This means that if you run the job / task from the command line, it uses the credentials of the currently logged-in user on the PC to try to log into e-Synergy.
The user that runs / schedules the process should have rights on function point 339 ("Recalculate Ratio Definitions (process)").

Running the process

This process can be run by typing the command below into the DOS prompt or by creating a task for it by using Windows 2000 Task Scheduler or by creating a job for it by using the SQL Agent .
