Dynamic OperationsBlank

Literal - the data entered in the value field

UUnix Environment Variable: The Unix environment variable name is entered in the value field.

DThe date that is returned by the Date Formula that is entered in the value field

SSubstring of a value. Three parameters are entered in the value field:

P Value of another parameter

MMMonth of a date returned by the Date Formula that is entered in the value field

DDDay of a date returned by the Date Formula that is entered in the value field

Y2Year of a date returned by the Date Formula that is entered in the value field - the 2 digit year is returned

Y4Year of a date returned by the Date Formula that is entered in the value field - 4 digit year is returned

VValue of another parameter. This is used when "con-cating" the values of fields together.

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.

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 live45) $BP -q Q45 -c liveesac

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
