To create a batch/batch group from the Scheduler Service (Define Batch):

1. In the Create Batch page, enter the following Batch Details:

   • Code - Enter a unique alphanumeric code for the new batch/batch group.

     The code must start with alphabets, should not contain any spaces, and must not exceed 60 characters. Special characters are not allowed except underscore (_).

   • Name - Enter a unique name for the new batch/batch group.

     The name should start with alphabets, should not contain any spaces, and must not exceed 60 characters. Special characters are not allowed except underscore (_).

   • Description - The description/details for the batch/batch group.

     The description should start with an alphabet and must not exceed 250 characters.

   • Select Batch to create a new batch or Batch Group to create a new batch group.
   • For new batch groups,select the Batches to be added to the batch group.
2. For new batches, after entering the Batch Details, provide the following batch parameters.
   From the Batch Parameters pane, click Add to add a new batch parameter, in the following format.

   • Parameter Name - A valid parameter name for the new Batch parameter.
   • Parameter Value - A valid parameter value required for Batch execution.

   By default, $FICMISDATE$ and $BATCHRUNID$ are added as batch Parameters.

   Note:

   $RUNSKEY$ parameter is added only if you are creating a new batch or copying from an existing batch. It is not supported for existing batches.
   To delete a batch parameter, click Delete next to that parameter details.
