Job

The job allows the users to run several routines in a single run. A job consists of a set of routines which are run all together and their sequence is the logical flow of their execution.

The job allows organizing a group of routines in order that a generic routine reads the values generated by the previous ones.

Only one job or one routine can be related to each entity / scenario / period, therefore it is possible to related several routines to one entity by using a job.

The jobs table can be accessed from the administrator user web interface by following the path SetUp & Admin > Data processing tile> Allocations & Closing > Job Navigation panel> Data processing > Allocations & Closing > Job

Each Job is identified by a code and a description.

Once the user has defined the job's header, it is necessary to specify, by double-clicking on the job (or from Actions > Define Job), the routines that compose it and assign an execution sequence to each one.

Assume that we allocate the sequence 10 to the routines 10 and 20; when running the job, the system: first processes data according to the rules defined for the routine 001 then, according to the rules defined for the routine 002, it processes data including the entries generated by the previous data processing step.

Different routines belonging to the same job Routine and having the same sequence are run simultaneously.

After defining the job, it is necessary to configure its relationship with data to which it has to be applied. To do that, it is necessary to define an execution plan. Each execution plan, for each scenario / period / entity, includes the following information:

  • the routine / job to run and their execution order
  • the various scenarios for filtering data which have to be processed if the user wants to set such information at plan level (with the possibility of using different scenarios for different sets of scenario / period / entity) rather than on each single routine

The execution plan is defined by process, therefore different processes can have different execution plans.

The management of the execution plan can be accessed from the administrator user web interface:

  • by following the path Setup & Admin > Data processing tile > Allocations & Closing > Execution Plan Navigation panel> Data processing > Allocations & Closing > Execution Plan
  • or straight from a process rules definition window

Utility

Structure Report

The system allows you to extract and display through an Excel report the structure of a Job (rules and details). Such report can be accessed from the admin user web interface by following the path SetUp & Admin > Data processing tile > Allocation & Closing > Job > Report() > Structure Report Navigation panel> Data processing > Allocations & Closing > > Job > Report() > Structure Report and displays all the attributes defined for the routine and for its details in a tree structure (rules and details).

The user must specify the job to display.

The tree drawn in the report can be displayed in full detail or compressed (by clicking the relevant buttons – and +).
