Understanding Batch Processing Utilities

The Execution Details (P986114A) application allows access to additional utilities that help access dynamic runtime information for batch processing. The utilities include:

• Dynamic Logging

  This utility enables logging to be turned on or off dynamically at any point during execution.

• Introspection

  This utility enables access to dynamic information while a job is processing and gives an interactive display of a subset of current statistics. It gives users more visibility into the runtime information for reports for timing and troubleshooting purposes.

• Audit Data

  This utility records information about how a job was submitted and the duration it took to process.

Execution Detail information is only available for jobs with status of Done, Processing, or Error. Use this application to help answer these troubleshooting questions:

• Is the selection criterion not matching output expectations?

• Is the job actively processing?

• What is the job doing?

• Has the database been updated?

• Can the database be rolled back?

• How many records have been processed?

• What was the last business function that executed?

The Execution Details application is available exclusively as a row exit from the Work With Server Jobs application. Audit Data, Dynamic Logging and Introspection are available only from within the Execution Details application.
