Understanding Report Interconnects

You can use report interconnects to launch reports and batch applications from:

• Another batch application

• An interactive application

How the system processes the batch application information depends upon the type of processing selected:

• Synchronous

  Synchronous is the default processing method. If you select synchronous processing of the report interconnect, the initiating process waits until the batch application has finished before it continues running the original application.

• Asynchronous

  If you select asynchronous processing, the initiating process starts another process and continues to run the original application. The two processes run separately but at the same time.
