Batch processing typecodes

PolicyCenter identifies and manages application batch processing by typecodes in the BatchProcessType typelist. Each type of batch processing, whether implemented as a batch process or a work queue, has a unique typecode in the typelist. Whenever you develop a type of custom batch processing, begin by defining a typecode for it the BatchProcessType typelist.

You use the typecode for your type of custom batch processing in the following ways:

• Arguments to some of the methods in your custom work queue or batch process class
• An argument to the maintenance tools command and web service that enable you to start a batch processing run
• Categorizing how your custom batch process can be run, from the administrative user interface, on a schedule, or from the maintenance tools command prompt or web service
• A case clause in the Batch Processing Completion plugin for your type of batch processing

Regardless the mode of batch processing you implement, first define a new typecode in the BatchProcessType typelist for your type of batch processing..
