RTM_OPTIONS

Specify Journal Generator accounting entry definitions and other processing options for on-demand process groups.

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.

Use the On-Demand Processing Options page (RTM_OPTIONS) to specify Journal Generator accounting entry definitions and other processing options for on-demand process groups.
