Run scheduled batch jobs reliably, with failure handling
Also listed as: Reliable batch scheduling with failure handling
What is it?
Xelence runs batch jobs on schedules you set, tracks whether each run succeeds, and supports retries and error notifications when a run fails.
Why does it matter?
Fewer missed overnight runs and faster recovery when something goes wrong.
Start thinking about
- Which files and batch jobs are critical to your business cycle, such as contributions or payment runs?
- How are bad records in inbound files handled today, and who corrects them?
- Which partners exchange files with you, and which formats do they expect now and in future?
- What processing windows must your batch jobs fit, and what happens when one runs late?
- Where should staff sign off before automated file or batch steps take effect?
- How will you plan regression testing of your critical batch jobs around an upgrade?
Terms used on this card
- Batch job
- A scheduled task that processes many records at once, such as nightly payments or file imports, without anyone clicking through each one.
