Ability to Restart Failed Bulk Data Interface (BDI) Jobs from Process Orchestration and Monitoring

Previously upon failure, the user had to go to the BDI Process Flow screens to restart a failed BDI Flow. This action is not needed anymore. The failed BDI job is now restartable from the POM Batch Monitoring screen. POM identifies the failed subflows and only restarts them, thereby ensuring data integrity.

Change in Format of Notification Tab in Exported Spreadsheet

The format of the Notifications tab of the configuration spreadsheet exported on the Batch Administration screen has changed. Previously, notification types were each in their own row with email addresses being in a column and retention period in the next column. This is now reversed where notification types are in columns. By default, there is a row for ALL (schedules). Email addresses appear under each notification type for which an email notification is sent.

Also, by default, there is a row for the batch schedule being exported. This is because notifications are now configured at either the POM instance level (the ALL row) or the schedule level (the schedule row, for example: /MERCH).

Notification tab in exported spreadsheet

In the above example, Callback failure notification emails are sent to Jane Doe for all batch schedules of the POM instance. Error notifications are sent to John Doe for only the Merch schedule.
