Understanding Batch Versions Submitted on the Server from the Microsoft Windows Client

From the Microsoft Windows client, you can process batch versions:

  • On the enterprise server.

  • Locally on the workstation.

In most business environments, you submit batch versions to a designated enterprise server that can manage the processing needs more efficiently than the workstation. The system administrator defines whether the system automatically processes and prints the output, or places the job on hold in the queue.

When you submit batch versions to the server for processing, they are sent to a job queue. Version specifications and information required to process the batch version are sent from the workstation to the server.

From the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Work With Servers application you can:

  • Monitor the progress of the job in the queue.

  • Change the priority of the job.

  • View the report output in the following formats when the processing is complete:

    • PDF

    • CSV

    • OSA

  • View logs.

  • Print the report.

Additionally, if the batch version is associated with a report definition, you can:

  • View report definition jobs.

  • View report definition output.

  • View report definition source.

  • Republish a report definition.
