5.1.2 Define Batch

A Batch contains a group of background tasks that are executed together, on a specific date and time during which the resources are available for batch processing.

You can use batch and batch groups to group a set of background tasks to be executed together.

Batch Groups consist of batches that need to be executed together. Batch groups help to process date and time-based background tasks based on a defined period when resources are available for batch processing.
