Batch jobs in AX 2012

Batch jobs in AX 2012

Today, I will demo about batch jobs in AX 2012. At first, I will let you explore the Batch Server Overview on msdn. You have to follow all the steps as given bellow:
1. Configure an AOS instance as the batch server. (Click System administration > Setup > System > Server configuration).

2. Create a new Batch Group, name it ProcessD (Click System administration > Setup > Batch group).

 3. Add available batch server for batch group that has been created.

Now we have to create and schedule a batch job. Let's say we are going to schedule a batch which will fetch the number of purchase orders that are invoiced and add the count in a table named PurchaseOrders. So let's add a custom table Purchase Orders adding two fields DateTill and TotalPurchaseOrder.

Now create a class "ProcessingDataBatch", set it run at server. Also make sure you extend it with RunBaseBatch to make it behave like a batch job.
