Starting a batch job with a single input file

Batch jobs that use a single input file are initiated by running runbatch.sh with arguments to define the input file and options.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the $home/bin directory that holds the runbatch.sh script.
  2. Run the runbatch.sh script with arguments that follow the format: 
    runbatch.sh <Input URL> <Output URL> [<batch_ext> <batchLoadPropertyFile> <instance>]
    Where:
    • <Input URL> is the batch input source, such as a filename.
    • <Output URL> is the batch output destination, such as a folder or a file.
    • <batch_ext> (optional) is the name of a batch extension properties file that contains additional batch properties. These properties will be used at runtime to override the default properties configured in Batch.properties. This properties file must be available in the batch processor JVM classpath.
    • <batchLoadPropertyFile> (optional) is the name of the batch load properties file that resides on the InfoSphere® MDM operational server and contains the properties used in context when passing through the Request/Response framework. This properties file must be available in the InfoSphere MDM operational server JVM classpath. Properties can be prefixed by an instance name. In this way, a single batch load properties file can contain different groupings of properties based on the instance name prefix.
    • <instance> (optional) is the instance name used as a prefix for each property in the batch load properties file. If the <instance> argument is specified at runtime, the batch load properties that are prefixed by the given instance name will be used.
