Execute all forecasts with this length.

Integer

False

/startdate

From which day do we start?

Date

False

/starthour

From which hour do we start?

/exportmodelposition

In which position should the model used for the export be placed.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

<none>

/savemodelpositions

For which alternative model positions should forecasts be saved for later evaluation. Specify a list of valid model positions separated with '@'

List of integers from 1 to 8 in a list separated by “@”

Empty list

/writeprogfile

Specify whether a .prog-file should be written for later evaluation.

True, False

False

/compareextract

Specifies the extract used when retrieving the saved forecasts that the forecasts sent for export should be compared against and tested for tolerance limits. If the limits are exceeded, a warning or error message will be written to the status log depending on the block level (see below). If omitted, no comparison is made.

String

<none>

/blockwarnings

The program will block changes to weights and dynamic fractions for series that have any of the warning types listed to it and an error message will be written to the status log. The ‘Applyweights’ type concerns tolerance bounds for the estimated weights and the type ‘CompareExisting’ checks that the forecast quality, when evaluating the forecasts made with the optimized weights is within the tolerance bounds set for the series.

 Applyweights,

CompareExisting
