Build Schedule Actions

You use this program to generate a report identifying changes that need to be made to the live build schedule quantities and/or dates to meet the planning within the snapshot files.

The planning indicated within the snapshot files is generated by the Requirements Calculation program.

The program compares information residing within the snapshot files to information residing within the live files and reports on the differences. The latest requirements calculation date is printed on each report.
