Defining Batch Controls

The system is delivered with all necessary batch controls. Implementations may define default values for parameters. In addition, implementations may define their own background processes.

To view background processes, open Admin > System > Batch Control.

Use the Batch Control Query portal to search for an existing batch control. Once a batch control is selected, you are brought to the maintenance portal to view and maintain the selected record.

Refer to Background Processing Concepts and Online Batch Submission for more information.

The following zones may appear as part of the portal's Main tab page

• Batch Control. This zone provides information about the selected batch control.

The following zone may appear as part of the portal's Algorithms tab page

• Algorithms. This zone is used to maintain the algorithms that control important functions for instances of this batch control. Refer to the table that follows for a description of all possible system events. If the algorithm is implemented as a script, a link to the Script is provided. Refer to Plug-in Scripts for more information.

The following zone may appear as part of the portal's Options tab page

• Options. This zone is used to maintain various configuration options associated with the current batch control.
  Note: You can add new option types. Your implementation may want to add additional batch control option types. To do that, add your new values to the customizable lookup field BATCH_​CTRL_​OPT_​FLG.

The following zone may appear as part of the portal's References tab page

• Batch Control References. This zone list various configuration entities referencing the current batch control.
