How do I completely check the status of the Time Slicing job? How long will it take my Time Slicing job to complete?

Description:
Our Time Slicing job has been processing for some time. How can I monitor or check the status of the records being processed? How can we estimate the amount of time it will take to complete?
Solution:
There is no one query that will give you the complete status of the Time Slicing job. You'll need to do 3 things to get a complete picture of the status.
- Look at Scheduled Time Slicing Job to see the status of the Job itself.
- Look at the Time Slices Management page and determine if any slice requests are expired or have older last run dates. This will give you an idea of what timeslice is supposed to be doing. If the expiration date for a slice request is less than today, the slice request needs to be rolled over. If the slice request has an older Last Run date then it needs to catch-up.
- Run a query on the object records to check the slice_status column.
Values for slice status are.
1 = Needs to be Processed.
2 = Currently being Processed.
3 = Needs to be roll over.
NULL = Record has been processed.
In the query below I omitted the count of records that have a slice status of Null, because we can't reliability assume they are processed. It processes the Slice objects one at a time. For example, if it's on Assignments and if availability, allocations or time entries need to be rolled over, many of these records will have status of null because timeslice just hasn't gotten to them yet. The same is true for a modified or new request slice request.
SELECT 'Assignment' Slice_Object, Count(*), SLICE_STATUS
FROM prassignment
WHERE SLICE_STATUS in (1,2,3)
GROUP BY SLICE_STATUS
UNION SELECT 'Availability' Slice_Object,Count(*), SLICE_STATUS
FROM prj_resources
WHERE SLICE_STATUS in (1,2,3)
GROUP BY SLICE_STATUS
UNION SELECT 'Allocation' Slice_Object, Count(*), SLICE_STATUS
FROM prteam
WHERE SLICE_STATUS in (1,2,3)
GROUP BY SLICE_STATUS
UNION SELECT 'Timeentries' Slice_Object, Count(*), SLICE_STATUS
FROM prtimeentry
WHERE SLICE_STATUS in (1,2,3)
GROUP BY SLICE_STATUS
It will go table by table in the order above and process 1000 rows at a time. You'll see the status go from 1 (needs to be sliced) or status 3 (needs to roll-over) to status 2 (processing) then to NULL (completed).
By running the query in timed intervals, you can estimate how long the process will take to complete. Note: Objects will process at different speeds based on the slice request configuration, amount of records, and size of the slice objects.
