Policy Regarding Executing "Production" Batch Jobs in D365 F&O

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Paul V 166
Hello All:
 
We are interested in the best practices executing recurring Batch Jobs considered Production vs Non-Production.
 
Example 1 - Customer Statements will be a recurring set of batch jobs run (weekly, semi-monthly, Monthly, etc).   Should they be Created By / Run By an Accounts Receivable User?  An Admin User?  Other?
 
Example 2 - Batch Job Clean up - Should they be Created By / Run By a Sysadmin?  Other?
 
Is there a Microsoft Document that describes best practices?
 
Thanks in advance
 
Paul

    Hi,
     
    Recurring batch jobs should be running under the Admin or other 'system' account. If they run under a person's account and that account is deactivated, the batch job is impacted meaning it won't run anymore.
     
    I have not seen a document that describes this.
