TIBCO iProcess® Engine 11.10.0

# Overview

The `swbatch` utility enables you to process any number and combination of the following functions in a single batch operation:

| • | Start a case, with or without associated case data.

| • | Issue an event for a case, with or without associated case data.

| • | Close one or more cases.

| • | Purge one or more cases.

Note | The `swbatch` utility is optimized to perform these operations on a large number of cases as a single batch. To perform these operations on an individual basis you may find it easier to use the `swutil` utility instead. See Using the swutil Utility.

The `swbatch` utility is a command-line utility:

| • | Commands can be presented to `swbatch` either from a command file or from standard input, for example, as redirected output from another process.

| • | Case data can be embedded in the command file or input stream, in `abox` format.

Note | Each of the requests processed by `swbatch` is performed as a separate transaction. If multiple cases are to be processed, such as when using `PURGE` or `CLOSE`, then these are split up into a number of transactions.
