Task 3.24: Enable Batch Transmission

Task 3.24: Enable Batch Transmission

Video - Enable Batch Transmission


Purpose:  Creates Windows services for transmission of form data to courts, DA, and RMS folders. Ability to schedule and run automatically at periodic intervals without user intervention. 

Requirement:

Note: These services can be added to one office machine in the agency. This is not recommended though.

Recommended Setup: Separate your Batch Server from your Application Server to prevent login errors, slow upload/download times, and Batch Services processing issues.

  • Run all 4 batch services and is only used for these services.

  • This can be a virtual machine using full virtualization. 

  • This task must be performed prior to task 3.25

Different types of hardware virtualization include:

  • Full virtualization – Almost complete simulation of the actual hardware to allow software environments, including a guest operating system and its apps, to run unmodified.

  • Paravirtualization – The guest apps are executed in their own isolated domains, as if they are running on a separate system, but a hardware environment is not simulated. Guest programs need to be specifically modified to run in this environment.
