8.4 Batch Control Utility

The Batch Control Utility enables you to manage and record the beginning and ending of an Behavior Detection batch process. It also enables you to access the currently running batch. You control the process through a job scheduling tool such as Maestro or Unicenter Autosys.

This utility consists of a Java file that resides in the directory <INSTALL_DIR>/database/ db_tools/lib and UNIX script files that reside in <INSTALL_DIR>/database/ db_tools/bin:

• start_mantas_batch.sh starts the batch process.
• end_mantas_batch.sh ends the batch process.
• get_mantas_batch.sh obtains the name of the currently running batch.

The utility also uses common parameters in the configuration file <INSTALL_DIR>/database/ db_tools/mantas_cfg/install.cfg (See install.cfg file for more information).

The following sections describe the Batch Control Utility:

• Batches in Behavior Detection
• Directory Structure
• Logs

Note:

To calculate the age in business days versus calendar days, verify that the age.alerts.useBusinessDays setting in the install.cfg file has a value of Y (yes).
