Batch Service

Batch service is a service that enables transactions that would take a long time to process and cannot be handled by normal request processing. This service consists of batch processing and a scheduler. Users can define scripts for data aggregation processing and schedule them to run at predetermined times. Scripts can call databases, files, and REST APIs as well as actions.

The maximum processing time for a request is 15 minutes. Please consider this service if you perform routine tasks that require more time than that, such as nighttime processing. This service is an optional service that can only be provided in a premium execution environment.

The functions provided by this service are as follows:

1. Creating and editing job definitions
2. Job scheduling
3. Job execution
4. Job monitoring

In describing batch services, we will explain terms that appear in the text.

Terminology	Explanation
Job	Unit of batch processing invoked by this service
Job Definition	Definition of how the job is to be executed. Scripts, execution triggers, and execution timeouts can be configured.
Job Queue	The job is sent to the job queue and remains in the job queue until it is ready to run. Jobs are scheduled on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
Job Sending	Sending a job to the job queue. The timing of when a job is sent is as follows: 1. When the "Execute Job" button is pressed by the user. 2. When the trigger condition set in the job definition is met.

Job Exit Code	If the job is successful：0 (fixed) If the job fails：other than 0 (Can be specified arbitrarily in scripts with the built-in function exit())
Job Status	Status of jobs in the job queue. Please check the job status in Monitoring for the details of the status.
Job Termination	To stop a job in the job queue. The status of the stopped job will transition to "Failed". Stopping may take several minutes.
