Setting Up On-Demand Processing Options

To set up on-demand processing options, use the On-Demand Processing Options component (RTM_OPTIONS).

Before you can use on-demand processing, you must specify the accounting entry definitions that are used by each source transaction-process group combination, along with other options. Accounting entry definitions define the record and fields that the Journal Generator process uses to extract accounting entries from the system source.

This topic discusses how to set up on-demand processing options.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the On-Demand Processing Options page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Run Control Option

Last Process Number

Enter any three digits to define the number at which the system will begin numbering the run controls.

Run Control Prefix

Enter any three letters to identify the run control ID.

Process Option

Server Name

Enter the server on which you want to run on-demand process groups.

Use Event Notification

Select this check box to have the system run the processes in asynchronous mode, such that the processes run independently in the background and no response is required from the server.

This is the most typical mode of execution.

Journal Generator Accounting Entry Definition

For each combination of source transaction and process group that includes the Journal Generator process, specify the SetID of the accounting entry definition and the Accounting Definition Name.
