Batch Processing Terms and Concepts

The following terms and concepts are used throughout the documentation on batch processing, and are defined:

Term	Definition
Date Under Report (DUR)	The actual date of the time being reported for a shift as defined by the Day Breaker Options and Day Breaker Range.
Earliest Change Date (EARLIEST_CHGDT)	The date-under-report of the earliest addition or update to time-related data for a time reporter since the last Time Administration run. The earliest change date helps determine both the range of dates and the amount of data that will be processed for each time reporter.
TA Status (TA_STATUS)	This field is used to determine whether a time reporter should be processed through Time Administration. Valid values are Y (the time reporter should be processed) and N (the time reporter should not be processed).
Process Instance	Has a process instance value when the TL_TR_STATUS was last updated by a batch process, such as Time Admin or Submit Time.
