Setup
Batch capabilities are packaged in the batch bundle and are installed at the
batch.install.dir
location configured in
deploy.properties
.
If you want to run multiple batch programs in parallel, it is recommended that you run each program on a different machine. See Setting up the batch programs on a separate machine.
Limitations
- No two batch programs should use the same input directory (-dir option) at the same time unless they have different delivery option configured.
- No two batch programs containing the same delivery option should be processed together. Two batch programs processing the same delivery channel at the same time may cause unexpected results. For example, their print files may override each other.
- Memory and CPU utilization should be taken into account when running multiple batch programs.
- NA batch failed events logged and found in Diagnostics may or may not include all details about the failure. These events serve as an indicator that something went wrong. Review the NA batch logs for more details about the failure. For more information, see "System diagnostics".
- Only
${SYSTEM_TIME}, ${SYSTEM_DATE}, ${INCREMENT}
and Reserved/Journal output variables can be used in report files in single composition. Using any other output variables will force double composition mode.
