See also: Batch execution of CAPRI tasks


Purpose

The aim of the "batch execution" workstep is to start a pre-defined suite of CAPRI tasks without the need to defining all settings via the Graphical User Interface and start the task manually one after another. Instead, a text file uses a specific batch language to define the settings and start the tasks. Batch execution is useful to test if all CAPRI tasks based on GAMS in a CAPRI installation are currently compiling and running without errors. Equally, it can be used to start a pre-defined set of work steps.

The batch execution facility eases that task by:

Usage

The batch execution facility has only a few controls:

The three buttons at the bottoms allow starting and interrupting the process:

Notes

(1) If the batch command file comprises a "Timer=xx:yy" command, execution may be pending until the predefined time is reached.

(2) The predefined test suite let all work steps run for all Member States which may easily take a full day.
