Job Streams

The term "job stream" refers to a suite of batch jobs that run periodically. Most organizations have multiple job streams. For example,

  • You'll have a job stream that contains batch jobs that run nightly
  • You'll have a different job stream that contains the hourly batch jobs
  • You'll have a different job stream that contains the batch jobs that extract data for your data warehouse
  • Etc.

The topics in this section describe how to execute and monitor your job streams.

Refer to The Big Picture of Scheduling Batch Jobs for a description of how to set up the system to enable this functionality.

Note:

Only used by some organizations. Many organizations use a third party tool to manage the periodic execution of batch jobs rather than the system batch scheduler. If this is true for your organization, this section is not applicable.

Separate module. The batch scheduler functionality is associated with a separate Workflow Scheduling module. If this module is not applicable to your business, you may turn it off. Refer to Turn Off A Function Module for more information. .
