How Default Processing of Batch Jobs Works

For default processing of batch jobs, Types are processed by Type order defined at the System level. Element actions execute within each System in the same order as the Types were defined to the System and Stage by the administrator or as reordered by the administrator. Details of this process follow:

  1. As the administrator defines Types, they are added to the end of the Type sequence in the System MCF.
  2. The administrator can reorder this sequence in foreground or batch as follows:
    1. The Type Sequence panel— You can use this panel to reorder the sequence only when Global Type Sequencing is not in effect.
    2. Define Type Sequence statement—You can use this Batch Administration SCL statement to reorder the sequence, whether or not Global Type Sequencing is in effect. However, if Global Type Sequencing is in effect, a warning message is generated, even though the action is still executed.
  3. When batch jobs are submitted, element actions execute within each System in the sequence maintained in the target System's MCF.
