Symptoms

When the weekly batch triggered a forecast run in AI Foundation (AIF) through job RSE_FCST_BATCH_PROCESS_JOB, it did not take the RPAS_TODAY date.
RPAS_TODAY is supposed to be equal to the POM date that we use to schedule our batch to run, so the RPAS_TODAY date should be picked up from POM, and the forecast run in AIF should have its forecast Start date as the RPAS_TODAY date.

Is it possible to make the POM date and RPAS_TODAY dates incremental through the weekly batch, and have that feed the forecast Start date that is triggered in AIF?

The issue can be reproduced with the following steps:

1. RPAS_TODAY was removed (unset) from the Planning Data Schema (PDS) and a 'list set unset PDS environment variables' was performed. It does not show that we are overriding the Today date which means that the Today date should be picked up from POM.
However, that did not happen and LPPmTodayDt measure is still the date of the last batch run.

2. The forecast run in AIF was triggered through the batch. However the forecast start date did not take the RPAS_TODAY or the POM date, it took an earlier date as start date which is not understood.
