Planning Applications Job Details

Planning applications such as Merchandise Financial Planning schedule jobs through POM, and run ad hoc tasks directly using Online Administration Tasks (OAT) within the application. POM is the preferred approach for scheduling jobs in RAP for managing interdependencies with jobs from RI and AI Foundation. Refer to the application Administration Guides for more details on scheduling tasks through OAT.

Planning applications also use a special Batch Framework that controls jobs using batch control files. You may configure these batch control files for various supported changes within the application. The POM schedule for Planning internally calls an OAT task controlled by the batch control entries. A standard set of nightly and weekly jobs for Planning are defined to schedule them in POM. You also have the option to disable or enable the jobs either directly through POM, or by controlling the entries in batch control files. Refer to the Planning application-specific Implementation Guides for details about the list of jobs and how jobs can be controlled by making changes to batch control files.
