Batch Hooks Type Library

The Batch Hooks Type Library (batchvbserver.dll) includes functions and subroutines that can be used to access the batch function interface. The batch function interface consists of several hooks into the processing of Batch Manager. By adding logic to these hooks, you can extend the capabilities of Batch Manager.

The batch function interface consists of the following hooks:

• Batch Initialization – When a batch is initialized from the Batch Scheduler

• Batch Prepare – At the start of a batch

• Batch Complete – At the completion of a batch

• Unit Procedure Prepare – At the start of a unit procedure

• Unit Procedure Complete – At the end of a unit procedure

• Operation Prepare – At the start of an operation

• Operation Complete – At the completion of an operation

• Phase Prepare – At the start of a phase

• Phase Complete – At the completion of a phase

• Evaluate Unit for Allocation – When unit allocation is required

• Evaluate Connection for Allocation – When connection allocation is required

• Allocation Changes – When a unit or connection is allocated or released

• Log Equipment Status Changes – When the status of a unit or segment changes
