Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

    Please Help me!!!

    In Dynamics AX, how to automate the Batch jobs to execute at regular interval of time in v4 version.

I have created a new batch job, For my job I have created the recurrence, So that my job is added in Batch Queue (Batch List) with the regular interval of 2  minutes timings. But after 2 minutes my batch is not getting executed. whether I have missed any thing or is there any setup problem? for automating this process.

Regards,

Deepak M

    Have you setup a batch server?  Admin > Server configuration.

    Thanks Kent,

    But I have not found "Admin > Server Configuration" in V4 version.

    Then I found the solution, this is because when we are executing the batch process we need to "start" the Batch Processing from "Path: Basic > periodic > Batch > Processing".

    If this "Batch Processing" is started then only our batch jobs will be executed at the regular interval of time, what ever we have mentioned in the recurrence.

    Please tell whether I am going in correct way, If not please suggest me a better solution.

    Once again, Thanks for your reply!!!

    Thanks & Regards,

    Deepak M

    You might also look at configuring an AX session to run as a Windows service to get something closer to true batch processing. There's plenty of articles on this on the web, for example axaptabuilder.blogspot.co.uk/.../how-to-setup-axapta-batch-server.html.

    Hi

    In 2009 things are much simpler. The batch server runs as a thread within the AOS process so you don't need to do anything outside of AX to get batch jobs to run.

    You'll need to configure the batch processing settings for each object server to say which batch groups they serve, how many threads can run in parallel and during which hours of the day. All this is done in the Administration -> Setup -> Server configuration.

    Once you have done that, any jobs submitted to the batch queue will get picked up and executed as soon as one of the object servers that have batch enabled have a batch thread free.

    Hi Burtt,

    Thanks for your reply!!!

    I have set the configuration in "Administration > Setup > Server Configuration", but even though my batch program is not automated. Is there any other setup is to be done?

    Thanks and Regards,

    Deepak M.

    Hi

    So I assume you're looking at the batch jobs form and can see you job at the "Waiting" status and that its scheduled start date/time is some time in the past.

    The only thing I can think of is that you batch process is client bound. If that is the case it cannot run through the server threads and you need to run the old AX 4 batch processing engine. You'll find that in the same place as it was in AX 4 I think...Basic > periodic > Batch > Processing. Try doing that and see if your job runs. If it does I would have a think whether the code be written to be server bound instead as its a whole lot easier that way and more efficient too

    Hi Malcolm,

    Thanks for your reply, its working fine with client bound.

    I need to run this in client bound only, so I will execute this through "Basic > Periodic > Batch > Processing" only.

    Hi

    That's becuase the old V4 batch processing feature isn't anything more complicated than a client that processes batch jobs. You have to set up that client instance to be dedicated to batch processing. i.e. it sits waiting for batch jobs to process, runs any that are scheduled to run then returns to its waiting state.

    You wouldn't have this problem if you change the code to be server bound although you can only do this if all the objects it accesses are all capable of running on the server.
