7.5 Managing Batch Control Utility

The Batch Control Utility enables you to manage and record the beginning and ending of a 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 <OFSAAI Installed Directory>/ database/db_tools/lib and UNIX script files that reside in <OFSAAI Installed Directory>/ 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 <OFSAAI Installed Directory>/ database/db_tools/mantas_cfg/install.cfg (refer to Install Configuration for more information).

This section covers the following topics:

• Batches in TBAML
• Directory Structure
• Logs
• Using the Batch Control Utility

Note:

To calculate the age in business days versus calendar days, verify that the age.events.useBusinessDays setting in the <OFSAAI Installed Directory>/database/db_tools/ mantas_cfg/install.cfg file has a value of Y (yes).
