Configuring the Siebel Server to Run the Scheduling Job
When the automotive company schedules inspections with dealers and third-party inspection agencies, all the inspections are listed in the Financial Accounts screen, Vehicle Batch Order Inspection List view. You can trigger the batch run to schedule all the listed inspections manually, as described in Scheduling Inspection and Turn-In Appointments. However, it is recommended that you configure the Siebel server to run the scheduling job regularly, for example, every night. You can do this by setting up a component request. For more information on scheduling jobs, see Siebel Applications Administration Guide. To set up a component request to run the batch scheduling job
