Run Details

This job can only be run in batch mode. Refer to the Job Control and Scheduling subsystem for details on scheduling and running a batch job.

Job Parameters

• The Enquiry Date parameter allows processing of all enquiry records or those for a specific date.
• The Status to be Processed parameter can restrict the records processed to those with a status of REGISTERED or ACKNOWLEDGED or prevent restriction by updating BOTH.
• The Process enquiries when no package items are available parameter can be used to force processing of an enquiry in order to notify the enquirer that no items are available and give an indication of the likely mailing date. (Future functionality will allow this information to appear in a letter to the enquirer.)
• The Process enquiries when package is incomplete parameter is used to force the processing of enquiry records where not all package items are available.
• The Person to assume ownership of the Person ID Group parameter defaults to the current user. This parameter allows the user access to the ID group for running of the two associated reports ADMR1340 and IDGR2100. Note that when a person is specified as the user to assume ownership of the group, it is possible for them to view the group members and other details in the Maintain Person ID Groups form (IDGF1100) The Person ID Group Number is not displayed.  It is not possible to grant security access to the group to another user through IDGF1100, as the Server created the group, however a DBA could do this.
