Batch Programs Page

Use the Batch Programs page (EOIU_SOBATPGM) to assign an application program (PROCESS_NAME) to the publish rule.

Navigation:

Enterprise Components, and then Integration Definitions, and then Batch Publish Rules, and then Batch Programs

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Batch Programs page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Use this page to assign an application program (PROCESS_NAME) to the publish rule.

Field or Control	Description
Process Name	Enter the name of the COBOL, Structured Query Report (SQR), or Application Engine program that is marking the records to be published. The Publish utility initially receives the process name from the batch parameter record that is created by the application program. The program then retrieves and processes each publish rule for the application process name. The process name can be any 12-character string, as long as it matches what the application program inserts into the batch parameter record. If you select a flat file format, the Publish utility does not create a header or trailer message, and the utility ignores any chunking rules. Instead, the utility creates a single flat file.
