Interview Questions
What is Batch Job Monitoring?
What is Batch Job?
A batch job is a predefined task or set of tasks that are executed automatically by the system at a scheduled time or interval.
They can be configured, scheduled, and monitored to ensure they run smoothly and effectively, helping organizations to better manage their business operations.
What is Batch task?
A batch job task, refers to a specific unit of work that is scheduled to be executed automatically at a predefined time or on a recurring basis within the system. These tasks are typically part of larger processes and are grouped together for efficient execution.
In simpler terms, a batch task is like a to-do item for the system.
What is Batch Class?
Batch classes allow administrators to define the parameters and settings for batch tasks, such as scheduling, priority, and dependencies between tasks. This makes it easier to manage and monitor the execution of batch jobs within the system.
What is Recurrence?
What are Batch Alerts, How can you configure Them?
Can you configure alerts for batch job failures?
Yes, we can configure alerts while creating a batch job we should create the alerts.
Configuring Alerts for Batch Job Failures in Dynamics 365 F&O:
This method is suitable for individual batch jobs. Here's how to do it:
- Navigate to System administration > Inquiries > Batch jobs.
- Select the desired batch job from the list.
- Click on the "Alerts" button on the Action Pane.
- In the "Batch job alerts" dialog box, configure the following:
- Alert type: Choose "Custom alert" or "Manager alerts" depending on your preference.
- Alert message: Enter the message you want to receive in the notification.
- Condition: Select "Status changes to Error" to trigger the alert upon failure.
- Recipients: Enter the email addresses of individuals who should receive the alert.
- Click "OK" to save the configuration.
What are Batch Status?
In order to manage D365 batch jobs, it is very important to understand what each Batch job Status mean. See each description below.
- Withhold: Indicates that the batch job is ‘on hold’ and will not be run.
- Waiting: When a batch job is first created, it starts with a status of ‘Waiting‘. The batch job service will pick up and execute the process at the next recurrence scheduled. The job could be scheduled to run right away. Or, it could be scheduled to run at a certain time in the future.
- Executing: This indicates the job is actively being executed.
- Error: Indicates the batch job failed to finish due to an error.
- Ended: This status indicates the batch job has been completed. Typically, this is seen when jobs are set up to run a single time. Batch jobs that are setup to run on a recurrence will change back to a status of ‘Waiting‘ after they have finished a particular run. However, if there is an ‘End Date‘ on the recurrence and that has been reached, the status will change to ‘Ended‘. This just indicates that the overall batch job was completed.
- Ready: When we have to run 30 tasks at a time, the server may take 20 to execute, and the remaining will be in the ready state.
- Didn’t Run: When we cancel the batch job in error status, the dependence tasks will go under the didn’t run status.
- Cancelling: Indicates a user has manually selected to ‘Cancel’ a currently executing batch job. .
- Cancelled: after batching, the job will be successfully cancelled. The cancelled statues will be shown on that batch job status.
What is skipping a Batch Job?
In a batch job, we have more than one task are there, at that time, if we don't want to run any particular task, we use the skip batch task. so that skipped tasks can't run in that batch job for the time being.
How to create a copy batch job? Can we create copy from copy of batch job?
No, we cannot create copy from copy of batch job, but we can create copy from main batch job.
What is Batch Group?
A batch group concept used to manage and schedule the processing of batch jobs. Batch groups allow you to group related batch jobs together for efficient scheduling, monitoring, and control. Here's a brief.
A batch group is a concept used to manage and schedule the processing of batch jobs. Batch groups allow you to group related batch jobs together for efficient scheduling, monitoring, and control. Here’s a brief overview of how batch groups work in D365FO.
Grouping: Batch groups are used to group related batch jobs that should be processed together. For example, you can create a batch group for all the financial related batch jobs or for a specific module within D365FO.
What is Active Period?
Specifying time ranges during which jobs within a batch group can start execution. selecting to run batch jobs outside of office hours only. setting the recurrence for anytime within the active period. For example, you administrator might select to run the batch jobs every hour, but only between the hours of 6:00PM and 8:00AM.
What you mean by Parameters ?
What do you mean by parameters of batch task?
Task Description, Recurrence, Batch Group, Monitoring Category
What is Abort in Batch Job?
If a Batch job is taking to much time to finish or end at that time we trined to cancle that batch job but sometimes it won't happen becuase of some techinical issues like this times we use the Abort option to quite from executing.
What you will do if any batch taking longer time to finish?
When a Batch job is taking to much time to finish at that time we have try to change the Batch Job statues Execute to Cancle. if that didn't work then we should abort that job.
What is task Dependence?
Within a batch job have one or more batch tasks. Many batch jobs only have one task, but if you have more that one task you can set dependencies so that the tasks are executed in sequence. If a batch job relies on the successful completion of another job before it can run, any failure in the preceding job will cause the dependent job to be skipped.
What is constraints?
When we creatd the task dependence, those dependence task can those into Constraints.
When we created the task dependence between tasks, those task can added into the Constraints.
Expected status:
Ended: if the task is ended only the dependence task will run.
Error: if the task status Error only the dependence task will run.
Ended/Error: either ended or Error only the dependence tasks will run
What is HAS condition?
It is related to task Dependence, If we want to add Task Dependence then the Has condition change to "YES".
What is Batch job Log?
When an error acuier in Batch Job that will go into Log, We can see the Batch Job Errors in Log.
What is Batch Job History?
After a batch job is processed, you can view the history. The history includes any messages that were encountered while the job was running.
Batch Job History page displays information about past executions, including successful runs, failures, and skipped instances.
What is bundling?
A batch class gathers related tasks or operations into a single unit, allowing them to be executed together as part of a batch job.
What do you mean by AOS
and how to check if AOS is restarted or not?
when the Batch Job status in Error then we have to check the Log after the AOS is restated or not, if the Job Error time and AOS restated time are same then we can assume that, because of the AOS restart the Error is came.
