Modifying the Batch Processes for Industry Applications

If you are using one of the following industry applications, you should modify the batch processes to optimize the mappings for your industry.

If you do not modify the batch processes, then every session in the batch is processed. For example, if you use the Life Sciences application, you do not need the Automotive sessions contained within the batch processes. You can safely remove all Automotive sessions. Leaving the sessions in the batch process does not prevent the batch from completing successfully, but it does take extra time to process. For optimum performance, it is recommended that you remove all sessions that do not apply to your industry.

The session names have a naming convention. Some session names are preceded by a prefix and an underscore ( _ ). Sessions that have no prefixes and sessions that begin with the SIA prefix are common to all industry applications and should be kept (example: SIA_SIL_AssetDimension). Sessions that are specific to an industry have a two-letter prefix that indicates the type of industry (example: LS_SIL_ProdRankDimension, where LS indicates Life Sciences). Table 7 has a listing of industries and sessions.
