Design Overview

This background job is composed of two-step processing. It will have a threading assignment and a business logic processing.

Thread assignment program will filter eligible records from deal header table that reached their close date. The purpose of this module is to close any active deals that have reached their close date. Closed deals are still available in the system for reference and audit purposes, but as the deals are expired, they will not be applied or processed. These records are chunked and Thread ID is assigned for each. They will be stored temporarily in a staging table.

The Business logic program will process all records from the staging table. Using bulk processing, this program will update the records from deal header table to "C"losed status. Any existing Deal records from the deal queue table will be re-inserted again through calling FUTURE_COST_EVENT_SQL.ADD_DEALS program. It will free up and clean the staging table afterwards. There is a STOP ON NEXT feature in bulk processing (through a loop) where Administrators can stop this batch with a flip of this indicator.
