SAP Automated Predictive Library with Timestamp type instead Date

I would like to perform some analysis like regression/classification, clustering, or timeseries with the Automated Predictive Library APL.

I have a table with Timestamp type (23.09.2011 19:30:00.0, 23.09.2011 19:45:00.0, 23.09.2011 20:00:00.0...) I create a model with APL but I got empty table for "MODEL_TRAIN_BIN", "OPERATION_LOG", "SUMMARY" and "INDICATORS"

I tried train and apply but I got this error:

[APL error] Automated Analytics error (-2147024809): phase 'KxCPPInterf::IKxenModel::sendMode()' [[Root[7f2c5ed9f800]:The date variable (ZEITSTEMPEL) is not valid. It is constant. ]]

I would like to know if we can perform the timeseries with a Timestamp type or should we use only Date variable.

Thanks in advance

Here is the SQL:

  drop type IST_VERBRAUCH_T;  
create type IST_VERBRAUCH_T as table (  
  "ZEITSTEMPEL" TIMESTAMP,

  "IST_VERBRAUCH" DECIMAL(10,3),  
  "kts_1" DOUBLE  
);

drop table FORECAST_OUT;
