To provide visibility to the background processing taking place, services write to the
JOB_AUDIT_LOGS table in the database. Reports can be built based on
this to provide visibility to the activities occurring in the background. Additionally,
to assist users and developers in troubleshooting any error that may arise, the payload
that was processed is also stored in the JOB_AUDIT_PAYLOAD table in the
database.
Once the nightly batch run has started, web service execution will be halted and users will receive a warning message that the nightly batch run has commenced.
