Choosing a mode for a custom process

Consider the following factors to decide between a developing a custom work queue and developing a custom batch process:

• The volume of items in a typical batch
• The duration of the batch processing window

For business oriented batch processing, such as invoicing or ageing, Guidewire recommends that you develop a custom work queue. Work queues process items in parallel tasks distributed across all servers in a PolicyCenter cluster that have the workqueue server role.
