EngageOne™ Batch

If a channel is defined with a delivery mode of Batch, you create the properties on the channel and run the batch process against that channel. The batch process takes the channel name as input and exports all documents that have been composed for the given batch channel/batch job, concatenates the output into one or more files, sorts the output, partitions the output files, creates report files/audit files and prints them. The channel definition is maintained by the EngageOne™ server. For more information about batch see Batch processing.

The properties of a print batch channel include:

• Print file path and name.
• Inclusion Conditions – defines when a document is to be included in a batch stream, using output variables. For example, include testing on sheet count or testing on a variable that indicates if the document has a check or not. For a list of valid system variables that you can use in inclusion conditions, see System variables.
• Sort – defines the ordering of the documents in the print file and any associated report or index files.
• Report files – defines the type of report required. System or user-defined variables are used to record activity when the job processes. These can help with things such as post-processing requirements, audit trail and archiving functions.
