ADM Scheduling for Ref. data and actuals

Would it be possible to add scheduling functionality for ITP reference data and actuals in ADM?

Currently, all connectors run independently, which can cause failures when dependencies exist. For example, Department reference data depends on Cost Center reference data. If both connectors run simultaneously, the Department ADM connection fails because it requires the updated Cost Center data already published in ITP. Today, this requires manual intervention to re-run the Department connector.

A scheduling feature that allows one connector to run only after its dependent connector has completed (e.g., Department after Cost Center) would:

  • Automate updates and reduce manual effort.
  • Improve reliability of data refreshes.
  • Ensure consistent and successful loading of dependent reference data.
