Chapter 14 Managing Batch Processing : Overview

Overview
What is a Batch Server?
A batch server is a job that manages a job queue. A batch server services a single queue; if you require several batch queues at your site, you need several batch servers to service them. Jobs are placed in job queues using the BATCH tool.
Running a Batch Server
A batch server can be run as one of the following:
You should set up the batch server to run as a batch job. If you decide to run the batch server as a started task, you should ensure that jobs submitted by the batch server can obtain the necessary security authorization to run. The batch server dynamically allocates an internal reader to submit jobs. The requests in the queue are serviced in a synchronous manner and if for any reason the batch server cannot obtain an internal reader, the server delays servicing the requests on its queue until an internal reader is available.
Prerequisites
Before you can use the batch server for the first time, you must customize the following two table instances of the @BATCH_JCL table:
We recommend that you customize this JCL by using the TIBCO Object Service Broker text editor (TED). Full customization instructions are included as a post-installation step in Customization of the TIBCO Object Service Broker @SCHEDULEMODEL Table.
 
Only specially authorized users belonging to the security group ADMIN can customize the @BATCH_JCL table instances and start batch servers.
