Activate batch processing (queue)

Before you can use the queue functionality, you must first activate the Batch processing (place processes in queue) functionality.

Once the Profit Batch Service is activated in an environment, it will be automatically recognised by the Batch Service and included in the Central Login Environment (CLE). After that tasks in an environment that are suitable for the Profit Batch Service will automatically be placed in the queue as soon as a user starts such a task.

Ideally you should activate the new functionality at the end of the working day, or over the weekend. This is because during the activation process, a conversion will always occur, and during this conversion your employees cannot work in Profit. It is recommended that you first test a new activation in a test environment, before you implement it in the live environment.

To activate the functionality:

1. Go to: General / Environment / Management / Properties.
2. Go to the tab: Activation.
3. Select the check box of the functionality that you want to activate.

   Profit warns you that after activating the functionality the environment needs to be converted.

4. Click on: Yes to activate the function.
5. Click on: OK.

   Profit warns you that no other users can be logged on.

6. Click on Yes in the message.
