Batch File Processing

Batchfile processing is non-transactional. This means that if batch file processing fails and/or halts before completion, any components that have been successfully checked in remain checked in, and are not “un”-checked in.

Concurrent batch check ins are not arbitrated. If two different batch check-ins targeting the same set of components begin to run at the same time, there is no mechanism throttling the processing of one batch file while another completes. Both batch files will be processed in the interleaved manner that results from their proximate timing.
