Description:
We are performing a simple XOG write action to update the Actual Hours on a Task. After the Time Slicing job completes, the ETC values are erased.

Solution:
ETC values can only appear on a Task Assignment as 'future' segments showing remaining ETC values after the 'Actuals Thru Date'.
When performing a XOG write action for the Task Labor ActCurve Segments, the 'finish' date should be set to a date that you want to effectively use as the 'Actuals Thru Date' (Act Thru).
In the example described above, the XOG write file contained ActCurve Segments with a future 'finish' date for 'Resource02'. This effectively set the 'Act Thru' date to be the same and therefore 'appeared' to erase the ETC values. What happened is that the future 'finish' date was for the end of the year (12/31/2012) and the view for the ETCs where shown only up to the end of the year. Upon scrolling forward or changing the TSV view to show more periods, the ETC values were seen after this effective 'Act Thru' date. NOTE: XOG dates take timestamps into consideration. In this example using 12/31/2012 midnight -- sets the curve data to end of day for 12/30. This is why we see 8 hours in December.
When Actual Units are updated on a Task Assignment, the 'Act Thru' date should reflect appropriately so that the remaining ETC values can be distributed as expected.
The XOG write file also had an ActCurve Segment finish date of 5/31/2012 for this example. After the XOG write action was performed, he remaining ETC values appeared as expected as illustrated for 'Resource03' in the last picture shown above.
