Completing A Batch Program That's Part Of A Job Stream

When a batch program completes, a common routine is called. The following flowchart provides a schematic of this routine's logic where the additional logic applicable to the batch scheduler is highlighted in red.

The following points summarize important concepts regarding the batch scheduler logic illustrated in the flowchart:

• If at least one thread fails and this batch job is one related to a scheduled job stream, the status of the corresponding workflow event is changed to Error.
• If all threads are successful, and this batch job is one related to a scheduled job stream,
  • The status of the corresponding workflow event is changed to Complete.
  • In addition, a Pending batch job is submitted to activate workflow events that are dependent on the completion of a batch job. When this job executes, the "downstream" batch jobs will be submitted (and then the logic shown above starts again).
