BATCH STATUS HELP

BATCH STATUS

To display batch jobs by type:

Select a batch job type from the Type of Batch Job menu.

Click the "Display" button.

RESULT:

The Batch Status screen is reloaded, and batch jobs of the type you select are displayed. If no entries match what you are seeking, select ALL from the Type menu to display all available batch jobs.

Types of Batch Jobs:

Order Import - This is the initial job submitted for the entire import file.

Order Continue - If error lines are deleted from an order in the import file, this job will process that individual order after the error lines are removed. Therefore, if you have five orders in one import file and all five have a line error on them, you will have five "Order Continue" jobs.

Order Recover - For either an order import or order continue batch job, mainframe connection is required. If the mainframe is not available to service these requests or connection is lost with the mainframe during the processing of these jobs, an Order Recover batch job is initiated to re-try each order to be processed. As with the Order Continue job, you will have one order recover job for each order in the import file. This job keeps recycling until the job successfully runs or until it is purged during nightly batch processing.

In the status message column, you will see one of the following for each separate order being processed:

If the order was successfully processed to completion, you will see the ship to, po and Michelin sales order associated with that order. It will be a link back to the Orders In Process screen.
If the order encountered any errors that would prevent it from processing (i.e. ship to on hold), you will see the message that indicates this error for the ship to/po.
If the order encountered only line errors, you will see the lines that were removed and why along with a message that indicates which order recover batch job will be finishing out this order for the ship to/po.

Dealer Purchases Inquiry - This job builds the Dealer Purchases screen for a range of criteria. The status message will be a link to the Dealer Purchases screen.

Order Management Request - This job will gather all committed orders for the specified ship to and make them available for the Order Management function. The status message will be a link to the Order Management Request screen. On that screen, you will be able to select the ship to for processing.
