Job Scheduler

how to manage jobs submitted to the scheduler for multiple locations and some
 locations are global. Right now the scheduler runs from 9:00p - 1:00a
each night (sometime longer). As we add more facilities this will certainly
increase and at many different times depending on the time zone of the
facility. How do we handle this?

Thanks,

jdenovice,

You may want to look into adding additional batch queues to your OneWorld system, so you can run more than one batch job at a time. HOWEVER, you must thoroughly understand what the batch jobs are doing that you are scheduling, so you don't end up running two programs at the same time that interfere with each other, or running dependent programs out of their normal sequence.

We have one queue for all financial/posting programs, one for all other single-threaded programs (e.g. MRP, leadtime rollup, etc.), and one other for any other programs that need to run.

You may want to look at queues that are enterprise-wide (single-threaded), as well as location-specific (single-threaded), plus general-purpose multi-threaded queues. Your processing needs will determine what works best for you.

Be aware that each batch queue you create will consume resources on your server, so only create as necessary.

Good luck!
