Set Up A User ID For Batch Jobs

When batch jobs execute, they must reference a given user's information for the following:

  • Batch jobs can cause "auditable" events to occur. These events have a user ID associated with them.
  • Some batch jobs access language-specific data, the language used is defined on a given user.
  • When batch jobs complete, an email message is sent to a user's email address.

When a batch job is submitted, it references a specific user ID; this user ID is used for the above points. We recommend setting up a "dummy" user for this purpose (e.g., user ID = BATCH ).
