Hi Johnkrish,

This is not possible to configure. On those days you can disable the IsBatchServer setting on the AOS servers manually or stop the AOS services themselves.

Why do you want to stop the batch processing in weekends and bank holidays? It is not harming the system to let it just run.

Hi you could adjust your batch check recurrence for avoid saturdays and sunday execution. As suggest in correct way from André you could stop the IsBatchServer and update to 0 or 1 this flag with a SQL procedures and scheduled it in your SQL enviroment.

Pay attention to do before a trial in your test enviroment.

Thank you for the response,

I have went through and thought of one solution. Is this correct ?

SystemAdministration-->Setup-->System-->ServerConfiguration-->IsBatchServer

SysServerConfig.EnableBatch.

Can we use code(needed logic) in Info Class->startupPost() method and check and uncheck the checkobox IsBatchServer.

Is this a correct way?but this way won't work if user is not closing the ax application continuously for weekend or during holidays..can i write my logic some where else..can u guys suggest?

What if you simply set batch server schedule? Wouldn't it meet your requirements?

Batch server schedule can be configured in System administration > Setup > System > Server configuration.

The schedule option is only available in time units. This is valid for all days. There is no date planning. I have not heard back on my question why you would need to disable the batch processing during weekends. What is the idea behind this? Probably Daniele is correct to set a recurrence for some or all batch jobs to run only on business days.

You have a point about time, nevertheless it can be resolved. You can add extra fields to BatchServerConfig and modify BatchRun::getServerConfig() to take them into account.

I would rather do that than changing IsBatchServer by some stored procedures, for example.
