Running Multiple Instances of Assignment Manager in Batch Mode


When there are many objects that need to be assigned, you can run multiple instances of Assignment Manager in batch mode to improve performance. First, develop a strategy for specifying multiple batches using the Object Where Clause parameter in the Batch Assignment component. Then, start multiple instances of Batch Assignment specifying the appropriate Object Where Clause for each instance.

For example, you can run one instance of Batch Assignment for accounts that changed today and a different instance of Batch Assignment for accounts that changed yesterday. Use the Object Where Clause parameter to specify the following:

To process mutually exclusive sets of records when running multiple instances of Assignment Manager simultaneously for the same assignment object, you should specify an Object Where Clause for each assignment task. For more information about the Object Where Clause parameter, see ObjWhereClause.

There are several instances where you should not run multiple simultaneous batch jobs:

Examples of when you should not run multiple simultaneous batch jobs include:

NOTE:  The ASGN_PROC_ID column in the S_ORG_EXT table is no longer used. If you have updated this column to run multiple batches of Batch Assignment in previous versions, note that as of version 6.0 you can no longer do so.
