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 Paul,

There is no public Microsoft documentation about setting up batch jobs. Anton is correct about using an admin or other service account. I wrote a blog about that topic a while ago: Life's a batch... - Dynamicspedia

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.
