Weekly Batch (batch_weekly)

This task is used to schedule a typical weekly MFP batch, which includes loading all hierarchy files and actual data and running all batch aggregations tasks needed for inventory roll. This task is the main task that needs to be scheduled to run on a weekly basis so the Administrator can see the most up-to-date location and product structures and information. Before scheduling this task, all necessary hierarchy and data files need to be uploaded to Object Storage. If the customer is planning to get data using RAP integration, the Batch Uses RDX flag should be enabled to get the data from RAP. This task runs the conditional execution of different tasks based on the various batch control flags set in the application.

  • If Batch Uses RDX is true: Export Plans to RI

  • If Enable Weekly Exports is true: Set Export Flags and Export all Plan Versions
