To provide visibility to the background processing that's occurring, services write to the JOB_AUDIT_LOGS
table in the database. Reports can be built based on this to provide visibility to what is happening 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.
