Configuring Batch Processing with a Search Specification

To limit the number of records that Siebel CRM evaluates when it runs a Workflow Process in batch mode, you can define a search specification. Siebel CRM uses the Search Specification parameter on the Workflow Process Batch Manager to run the search specification on the primary business component. For each record it finds, the Workflow Process Batch Manager starts the Workflow Process and sets the Object Id process property to the current active row. For more information, see Defining the Primary Business Component.

If you do not define a search specification, then the Workflow Process Batch Manager runs the Workflow Process for each record of a particular type. For example, if 100 service requests exist, then it runs the Workflow Process 100 times, one time for each service request.
