Processing Batch Jobs in Dynamics AX

The purpose of the Dynamics AX batch job system is to be able to run certain processes according to a predefined schedule or simply during off-peak hours. Many system forms including jobs and reports in Dynamics AX have a tab named Batch, where users can set up the process to execute as a batch job.

Because executing batch jobs can significantly impact the performance of a system, it is common practice in the Dynamics AX community to dedicate a physical server to this purpose, commonly designated as a batch server.

The most common problem with job processing is that users forget to attach a job to the batch group.
In order to process batch jobs you need the batch server running.

Goto Basic -> Inquries -> Batch -> Batch processing and select the batch group you want to process.

Your job must be attached to this group. Click OK and you will get your job running in the scheduled time.
