Scheduling Batch

Daily or weekly batch scheduling is set up through Online Administration Tools (OAT). As noted earlier in this document, the control file batch_exec_list.txt lists the batch tasks and the sequential steps associated with a task. The tasks within this control file are used to schedule a typical daily or weekly batch.

To set up the batch:

1. Navigate to the Administration task.

2. Click Online Admin Tools.

3. Click Submit a New Admin Task.

4. Select the radio button for Configured Batch Tasks.

5. Click Run Batch Task Group.

From here you select from the available batch tasks. For more information on the batch tasks provided in the sample configuration, see the Run Batch Task Group section in the Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning Cloud Service Administration Guide.

The wizard walks you through selecting the schedule frequency, start date, and reoccurrence.

Batch also can be scheduled using JOS/POM which in turn can trigger the pre-configured batch tasks in the batch_exec_list.txt batch control file. For more details about MFP Job Flow in JOS/POM and also about how to configure it, see the Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning Cloud Service Implementation Guide.
