Scheduling a Batch to Run

Use the Explore Repository to schedule a batch to run.

To schedule a batch to run:

1. From the Explore Repository, select Tools, and then Batch Scheduler.
2. In Batch Scheduler, select File, and then New Scheduled Batch.
3. Enter a name and description for the batch.
4. Optional. Select Delete Scheduled Batch Entry from Scheduler if Completed Successfully to delete the batch from the scheduler after a successful run.
5. Click Next.
6. In Schedule Batch, select a batch and enter a description, and then click Next.

   If required, enter user names and passwords, and then click OK.

   Note: Passwords must be encrypted.

7. On the Start Time screen, in Frequency, select how routinely you want the batch to run. You can also select Perform Now or Perform on Demand.
8. If you selected a scheduled frequency, select a start date and time and an end date and time zone.
9. Optional. If any reports and books in the batch have dimensions in the user POV, set the member for those dimensions in Scheduled Batch Point of View. See Selecting a Member for the Batch Point of View.
10. Optional: Set Bursting Options to use job bursting to run a batch for more than one member in a dimension on the Batch POV. See Scheduling Batch Bursting.
11. Click Next.
12. Change the default settings for the Destination of the batch file that you are running (see Specifying the Batch Destination), and then click Next.
13. Specify whether to send an email to recipients if the batch ran successfully or unsuccessfully along with a brief message. See Selecting Email Addresses for Batch Scheduling.
14. Click Finish to save the batch job in the Batch Scheduler.

Note:

When multiple batches run concurrently with batch bursting enabled in the Batch Scheduler, an intermittent ADM error occurs. To work around this issue, run batches with batch bursting one after the other by specifying the Frequency on the Start Time screen (step 7 above).
