2.7 Batch Job & Job Set Changes

Overview

This enhancement adds flags to batch jobs and the scheduler to help handle job exceptions. The new flags are available on the Setup → Batch Jobs and System Monitor screens.

Flag to exclude batch jobs execution at EOD

1. Added new flag 'EOD Run' to batch jobs to avoid the batch job run during EOD.
2. Flag placed to each job level.
   1. During EOD, scheduler checks the flag status to run only if flag value = Y.
   2. If the flag value = N, scheduler skips executing the batch job.
   3. Default value = Y and hence customers has to review the applicability of batches or their business.

Jobs set configured by the Scheduler

1. Changed the existing placeholder to accept the multiple parents.
   1. Text box is provided in place of Lookup, so that user can input the values in text. Each job is separated by comma.
   2. User has to maintain the setup meticulously.
2. Scheduler checks the status of the jobs, which are part of above exclude set (Parent).
   1. If the job set mentioned in criteria is running, system queues current job set, until all the job runs completed in the exclude criteria list.
3. Default values in this placeholders will be as per pre-configuration and there is no impact on existing customers.
4. Depending on business cases, customers can configure the job sets in the parent criteria.
