How To Fix EEDM_CALC_INST097 - Enter the interval size or the number of intervals

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EEDM_CALC_INST - IS-U: EDM Messages for Calculating Formula Instances

• Message number: 097

• Message text: Enter the interval size or the number of intervals

What causes this issue?

Intervals regarding the number of formula allocations to be calculated
are required for each time slice and hierarchy level for the parallel
calculation.
In doing so, you can differentiate between the number of intervals to
be created, and the size (number of formula allocations) in an
interval.
If, for example, 100 formula allocations are to be calculated in time
slice 1, hierarchy level 1, then if you specified 20 intervals, 5
formula allocations are allocated to each interval. If you specified
interval size 5, then 20 intervals are created.
