Use Standard Batch Operations

You can use the Batch Scheduler dialog box to perform the following standard operations:

• Delete a selected batch from the schedule. You can select only batches with a status of Open, Ready, Done, or Aborted.

• Remove all batches from the schedule list that have a status of Done or Aborted. Perform this operation on a regular basis to minimize the size of the Batch Scheduler list.

• Move batches up or down in the schedule. These options are typically used in conjunction with the Execute in Order option to sequence the scheduled batches for production.

  Note: If you sorted the Batch Schedule list using the Filter option, batches are processed in the order defined by your sort preferences. In this case, the Move options are not available.

• View errors

• Show or hide the toolbar or status bar.
