How is the data for calendar DS generated?

Question

What is the logic behind Data Load that generates data for the calendar data source? Specifically:

1. How far to the future does it generate data?

2. On every project, should we schedule this job to run automatically after some time to avoid situation where we "run out" of the data there?

Answer

1. It is configurable in the server config – the number of years in the past and in the future.

   <!-- Default calendar generation: years to go back and ahead from the load date -->
   <yearsBackward>4</yearsBackward>
   <yearsForward>2</yearsForward>
   

   Note that only the support team can change the server configuration.

2. Correct.
