Batch Process Info screen

The following figure shows the Batch Process Info screen with Duplicate Contacts Finder selected:

The Batch Process Info screen enables you to run work queues and batch processes manually, without having to wait for the scheduled writers to run. You can start ContactManager processes and view information about them, including writers for work queues. This information includes the Name, Description, Status, Last Run time, Last Run Status, Next Scheduled Run time, and scheduling information.

To start a work queue or batch process manually, click Run in the Action column.

There are several batch processes you might find useful to run from this screen, especially during development.

Batch Process	Description
AB Contact Score Aggregator	Processes service provider review scores sent by ClaimCenter.
AB Geocode Writer	Geocodes addresses. For more information, see Geocoding and proximity search for vendor contacts.
Duplicate Contacts Finder	Compares new contacts to the existing contacts in the database to see if there are entries that might be duplicates of the contact. After Duplicate Contacts Finder runs, all new contacts that have been processed are marked to prevent them from being processed again. Possible duplicate contacts are saved to a list that a user with the appropriate permissions can process in the Merge Duplicates screen. For more information, see Detecting and merging duplicate contacts.
