Executing batch applications

This section describes how to use Eclipse to execute and forcibly terminate the batch applications.

As in the case of debugging, you can execute batch applications from Eclipse. The connection to the Management Server remote management of the batch applications is presumed to be set up in the subsection 9.6.1 Setting up the debug environment.

To execute the batch applications, use either of the following methods:

Executing the batch applications from a shortcut
Executing the batch applications by displaying the Execute Configuration dialog box

The procedures are described below.

Organization of this section: (1) Executing the batch applications from a shortcut; (2) Executing the batch applications by displaying the Execute Configuration dialog box; (3) Precautions for execution

(1) Executing the batch applications from a shortcut

In the Project Explorer view, select the project to be executed or open the Java file using an editor.
From the Eclipse menu bar, choose Run - Run as - Cosminexus Batch Application.
The execution of the batch applications is started. If the batch server is not running, the batch server will start.
When the management user authentication in the Management Server Management User settings is specified as Authenticate, and if the connection to the Management Server remote management is not established, the Log in - Remote Management dialog box appears. Enter the management user ID and the password, and then click the OK button.

(2) Executing the batch applications by displaying the Execute Configuration dialog box

From the Eclipse menu bar, choose Run - Run Configuration.
The Run Configuration dialog box appears.
Select the created start configuration, and then click the Run button.
The execution of the batch applications is started. If the batch server is not running, the batch server will start.
When the management user authentication in the Management Server Management User settings is specified to Authenticate, and if the connection to the Management Server remote management is not established, the Log in - Remote Management dialog box appears. Enter the management user ID and the password, and then click the OK button.

(3) Precautions for execution

When the batch applications are executed, you cannot interrupt the execution or check the variables or expressions.
If no batch servers are set up, an error occurs.
When execution starts, if there are multiple main classes to be executed or the executed batch servers, the Select Batch Application dialog box appears. Specify the main classes to be executed or the executed batch servers.
If the same start configuration is to be executed multiple times, the Select Batch Application dialog box appears. Select the start configuration to be executed.
If you change the settings of a running batch server using the management portal or the Smart Composer functionality, restart the batch server.
Since the batch server starts during the initial execution of the batch applications, the execution of the batch applications takes time.
When the automatic restart of the batch server is enabled in the Management Server settings, the batch server restarts automatically, if an attempt to forcefully terminate the batch applications fails. While the batch server is restarting, you cannot operate the batch server.
