Forecasting and estimation tool used within Manage your Apprenticeships

The following needs to be installed on your local machine:

• Visual Studio 2017
• Azure Cosmos DB Emulator
• Azure Function emulator version 1.0.10

• Build solution
• Publish database -> this will create a database called SFA.DAS.Forecasting.Database on your local instance

Running the acceptance tests will populate the database with a set of data - the connection string in the app.config file for the acceptance tests may need updating.

To load apprenticeship courses into CosmosDB run the following azure function SFA.DAS.Forecasting.ApprenticeshipCourses.Functions. This has a dependencey on das-apim-endpoints forecasting outer api. If you are part of the ESFA organisation you can request a subscription key, if not then follow the readme for setting up the Forecasting outer api.

from localhost the following screens are available

/accounts/MDPP87/forecasting/estimations/start-transfer

/accounts/MDPP87/forecasting/projections

For some acceptance tests the MYA database is required.
