Batch Link Setup (Gen 2 Architecture)

Aside from the dependencies, you also need to be aware of the Schedule Link that is defined between MERCH and AIF DATA schedules. By default, the schedule link will be disabled, so you must go into the AIF DATA schedule links section from Batch Monitoring and enable any links shown. The schedule link will allow RDE and RI jobs to start automatically after Merchandising jobs are run in their nightly batch cycle. There is one schedule link defined that will trigger the RDE job RDEBATCH_INITIAL_START_MILEMARKER_JOB after Merchandising runs. If the MERCH and AIF DATA schedules are in the same POM instance, then you must enable the Schedule Link before running any batches. If they are in different instances, then the link will not be visible and cannot be used.
