ADD THE NEW DI_EXPORT_SALES_FORECAST JOB PARAMETER TO THE JOB_PARAM TABLE IN THE DI_MON LIBRARY:

Add the following DI_EXPORT_SALES_FORECAST job parameter to the JOB_PARAM table: For more details on this new parameter and other new export information, see the Errata documentation for the Administrator’s Guide on the documentation Web site.
Insert the etlp_daily_model parameter into the DI_MON library with SQL code like the following:

	proc sql noprint;

	DELETE FROM di_mon.job_param where jobname = ‘<JOB_NAME>’ and param_name='<PARAM_NAME>’;

	Insert into di_mon.job_param
	(jobname, param_name, param_value, default_func)
	values("<JOB_NAME>", "<PARAM_NAME>","<PARAM_VALUE>",'"<PARAM_DEFAULT>"')
	;

JOB_NAME=DI_EXPORT_SALES_FORECAST
PARAM_NAME=etlp_daily_model
PARAM_VALUE=1
PARAM_DEFAULT=1

	proc sql noprint;
