Use the Exclusion periods form to define periods during which a batch server may not be used, for instance Mondays from 08:00 to 17:00. Please bear in mind that batch processes are never aborted; even after a power outage, the process will continue from the break-off point. A process will always be completed, regardless of the exclusion period specified. This means that if you specify an exclusion period from 08:00 to 17:00, a batch processing that was started before 08:00 may continue until 14:00 or even later.
