Batch server

Use the Batch server form to define the batch servers to be used for executing the batch commands. You can do so by linking a batch server to a specific computer in your network. Enter the computer name (the name in the network) of the client that serves as the batch server.

To configure a client solely as a batch server, create a user named 'Batch server'. Then grant this user only the rights to the programs in the Batches folder of the General Settings module. The batch server does not require any other rights. Isah uses the rights of the employee who created the batch command.

Tip: Use a separate computer for the batch server(s). If a batch process is being executed on the batch server, no other processes can be performed on the batch server.

Starting or stopping the batch server

Use the Batch processingform to start up the batch server. Click Stop to exit the batch server.

Note: When a batch command of the correct type is ready to be executed, it will be executed immediately. Once the execution has started, the command can no longer be aborted. The batch server can be stopped with the Stop button only if the batch server is waiting for the next command to start.
