Batch Run Portal

The Batch Run Tree page has been converted to a portal, leveraging a more flexible and extendable user interface metaphor. The portal organizes information in a way that makes it easier for you to review and analyze performance and exception information for a batch run.

The following are the main new features supported by the portal:

  • High level information and overall thread status are provided in the Main tab.
  • Improved user experience in reviewing thread information (even for a high number of threads), which includes filtering, sorting, broadcasting of detailed information about a thread, and more. The previous tree presentation of threads, instances and error messages was not easy to navigate and review.
  • Ability to review error messages across threads.
  • Better way to review To Do entries created by the batch process.
  • Display of file names created by the batch process.
  • Display thread related analytical information.
  • Display historical statistics from the last 20 runs.
  • Use new actions to set and reset the Do Not Restart indication only when when the current batch run is in error and is the latest run.

In addition, a standard Batch Run Query portal is also provided to support search functionality.

These improvements provide a better user experience when you are analyzing a batch run's exceptions and throughput.

NOTE: This enhancement does not impact any existing extensions.

Tips And Considerations

There is a new business object for Batch Run and a new Determine business object algorithm linked to the Maintenance Object. The base business object includes all the user interface behavior designed for the new portal. If your implementation has introduced your own CM business object and CM Determine BO algorithm, you should review your business object's configuration and merge it into the base business object.

Upgrade scripts ensure that users with Read access to the existing application service will have access to the new application service associated with the new portal. The table lists the existing and new application services.
