Set Up A Feature Configuration

After completing the above set up tasks, you must set up a Feature Configuration to provide the batch scheduler with the information it needs to operate.

The following points describe the various Option Types that must be defined for the feature configuration:

• Active Job Stream (WF Template Code). Set up a separate option for every job stream. The option's value is the Workflow Process Template associated with the job stream. Note, only these job streams appear on the Job Stream Summary page and are available in the Job Stream Creation Schedule page.
• Batch Code FK Char Type. Set up a single option to define the foreign key characteristic type used to reference the batch code on the workflow events. Refer to Set Up Characteristic Types for more information.
• Batch Code of WF Event Activation Process. Set up a single option to define the batch code of the batch job that is responsible for activating the workflow events that cause Pending batch jobs to be created.
• Batch Job ID FK Char Type. Set up a single option to define the foreign key characteristic type used to reference the batch job on the workflow events. Refer to Set Up Characteristic Types for more information.
• Batch Run Number Ad hoc Char Type. Set up a single option to define the ad hoc characteristic type used to reference the batch run's run number on the workflow events. Refer to Set Up Characteristic Types for more information.
• Business Date Ad hoc Char Type. Set up a single option to define the ad hoc characteristic type used to reference the batch run's business date on the workflow process (a single business date is used for all batch jobs initiated by a job stream). Refer to Set Up Characteristic Types for more information.
• Email Address on Batch Jobs. Set up a single option to define the email address used to notify a user when a batch job completes (note, the Email's subject line indicates if the batch job failed or succeeded). Note, you can override the email address on a specific batch job using a parameter on the Workflow Event Activation algorithm used to create the Pending batch job. If you leave this field blank (and no override is defined for the batch job), no email will be sent.
• SMTP Server Name and SMTP Port Number. If you want email sent informing of the completion of a batch job, define the SMTP server and port number.
• User ID on Batch Jobs. Set up a single option to define the user ID controlling user-oriented functionality. Refer to Set Up A User ID For Batch Jobs for more information.
• Work Calendar. Set up a single option to define the work calendar used when Workflow Process Recurrence Schedules are created. Refer to Set Up A Work Calendar for more information.
