Understanding Partition Schedule

Partition scheduling provides capability for performing parallel processing and also for automation of batch execution of multiple processes. It helps in faster performance by breaking down a process that works on a large data set, to multiple parallel processes that work in tandem on smaller datasets. You can also execute multiple processes that process different data.

You can execute a partition process either from the Partition Manager page or by using the Partition Schedule API in PeopleCode.

Partition schedules can be configured to read values either from existing prompt tables of the fields chosen as partition fields or by implementing Application Class in PeopleCode which return the set of partition data values.
