Batch Processing

Reports run using a batch process; they processes automatically without user interaction. When the system pauses, the engine executes the logic attached to that event within the batch process. After a batch process is launched, the flow of the attached logic proceeds on a fixed path, which is based on the data being processed. If you need to change the flow of the logic, you must modify the batch process using Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Report Design Aid (RDA). Examples of batch processes include reports, subsystem jobs, database output, and table conversions.

Subsystem jobs are batch processes that constantly run in the background and off-load processor resources. Subsystem jobs can also be used to move activities through a process, such as an escalation process in Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow, which moves unanswered messages from one user to another after a defined period of time.

See Working with Subsystem Jobs.

Use the database output function within RDA to update or insert records within tables.

See Working with Database Output.

You use table conversions to:

• Transfer data from one table to one or more tables.

• Change the data or schema of an Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table.

• Transfer data from a single business view to one or more tables.
