Configuring Batch Processing

If Siebel CRM runs a Workflow Process for every record that is dated between X and Y of a business component, then you can configure the Workflow Process Batch Manager (WfProcBatchMgr) server component. It can run a Workflow Process one time for each record that the primary business component contains. For more information, see Defining the Primary Business Component.

For more information about running a Workflow Process in batch mode, see Siebel System Administration Guide.

To configure batch processing

1. In the Siebel client, navigate to the Administration - Server Configuration screen, Enterprises view, then the Component Definitions view.

2. Click New in the Component Request form.

3. Click the selection button in the Component/Job field and in the dialog box that appears, select Workflow Process Batch Manager.

4. Click New in the Component Request Parameters form.

5. Click the selection button in the Name field and in the dialog box that appears, select the Workflow Process Name.

   The Workflow Process Batch Manager parameters are described in the following table.

   Parameter	Description
   Workflow Process Name	(Required) Name of the Workflow Process that Siebel CRM runs.
   Search Specification	Search specification that identifies the work items to process. Siebel CRM uses the Search Specification parameter only with the Workflow Process Batch Manager server component. If you define this parameter for any other server component, such as the Workflow Management server component, then Siebel CRM does not use it. For more information, see Configuring Batch Processing with a Search Specification.
