This article is about the StartJob method of the BatchRunner internal component.
BatchRunner.StartJob
The BatchRunner.StartJob() method was deprecated in USoft 8 and is supported only for backward compatibility. Use BatchRunner.job methods instead.
The StartJob method cannot be called from a constraint.
Example
To start the EXPORT_TOURS batch job with job input parameters DESTINATION and YEAR, execute the following statement:
INVOKE BatchRunner.StartJob WITH
SELECT
'EXPORT_TOURS' JobName
, 'DESTINATION=AUSTRALIA' JobParameter
, 'YEAR=2003' JobParameter
The job parameters must be named. The JobName parameter is required. Using JobParameter items, you can pass parameters to the job. You can pass:
'-quiet' JobParameter
to run the job without displaying any information messages or prompts. Error messages are still displayed. If a log file has been specified, all the usual information is logged, irrespective of whether or not -quiet has been specified.
BatchRunner.StartJob() returns 0 if successful.
