Working with work queue writers and batch processes
You can run many batch processes, including writers for work queues, from PolicyCenter or from the command prompt.
How to run a writer from the Work Queue Info screen
It is possible to run a writer for a work queue from the Server Tools Work
Queue Info screen. PolicyCenter enables
the Run Writer button on this screen for all work queue types
that belong to the BatchProcessTypeUsage category
UIRunnable.
To access the Work Queue Info screen, you must have the
internaltools permission. The Admin role has this permission by
default. Alternatively, if the EnableInternalDebugTools
parameter is set to true in config.xml and the server is
running in development mode, all users can access the Work Queue
Info screen.
How to run a batch process from the Batch Process Info screen
It is possible to run batch processes from the Server Tools Batch Process
Info screen in PolicyCenter. PolicyCenter enables the Run button
on this screen for all batch process types that belong to the
BatchProcessTypeUsage category UIRunnable.
To access the Batch Process Info screen, you must have the
internaltools permission. The Admin role has this permission by
default. Alternatively, if the EnableInternalDebugTools
parameter is set to true in config.xml and the server is
running in development mode, all users can access to the Batch Process
Info screen.
How to terminate a writer or batch process from the command prompt
It is possible to terminate some in-progress processes, including writers for work queues, from a command prompt. To determine if it is possible to terminate an in-progress batch process, consult the reference topic for that particular batch processing type. The information for each individual batch process includes whether it is a single phase or multiphase process. You can only stop those processes listed as being multiphase.
