Lock Server

Explanation

Use this activity to lock the demand plan server and to view a read-only display of the forecast. You are not permitted to change the forecast when the server is locked.  This is usually done after a forecast is approved for a period and other modules in IFS Cloud have imported the forecasts. The server is unlocked automatically when the Create Forecast job is run.

Locking the server can be performed through either Demand Plan Server, Scheduling tab or through Demand Server Dashboard.
