30. Key Scripts • bpsched • The batch processor script bpsched is run on regular intervals each hour, up to once each minute. This script is executed by cron under the crontab file for the userid batproc. bpsched checks the minute number (00-59) to determine which combination of queue and database to execute that specific minute. • schedpro2 • bpsched executes the script schedpro2. schedpro2 can launch multiple instances of the batch processor based on the data in it's configuration file. The configuration file lists database and pf file combinations. Configuration files are stored in the system batchproc directory. • m9sched • schedpro2 executes m9sched for each database defined in the configuration file. The m9sched script executes the progress session which runs t2bpstart.p from the QAD menu.

31. What is a Queue? • Configured in bpshed case $M in 00) $BP -q Q00 -c live 15) $BP -q Q15 -c live 30) $BP -q Q30 -c live 45) $BP -q Q45 -c live esac

Future SOX Enhancements • Error detection via keywords • Email notification for job errors • Email notification for report errors • Batch Run Access Restrictions • Group ID batproc can run all batch events • “Submitted by” used to restrict users to their batch events • Enable/Disable extended to individual batch events • New “batch” or “background” events default to enable • All other new events default to disable
