Batch Procedure Style

Consider batch procedures when the following statements are true:

• A large volume of transactions must be processed together, and the processing can proceed without interim user decisions.
• The response time achievable for the processing volume would interrupt the user's workflow.

A batch procedure might not be the solution for all executions of a user task. For example, creating a new manufacturing plan for a week might be requested by a user as a batch procedure. Optimizing a plan for a single shift period might be best performed online.
