USoft Batch allows you to define and execute batch jobs. These jobs may be executed in the foreground (on-line), or in the background. USoft Batch consists of two main elements:

· Batch definition tools in the Definer

These allow you to define jobs, for example to read and print data from the database, or to import data from an external file.

· Batch Runner

The Batch Runner (called RUNBATCH.EXE) is used to execute the job, and can be started by an external scheduler, or from the USoft Binder.

NOTE:

You can only run batch jobs on your application tables, not on USoft Developer tables.
