Intergraph Batch Manager provides a graphical interface for viewing and managing batch services. Batch Manager allows you to create queues and connect to remote queues, and to submit and manipulate jobs within queues. Connection to remote servers allows you to manage other Windows batch servers on the network.

Click Start > All Programs > Intergraph Batch Services > Intergraph Batch Manager.

The Batch Manager toolbar, located below the Batch Manager menus, provides shortcuts to the following tasks. Position the cursor over a toolbar button to display a tip describing the command associated with that button. Buttons are provided for the following tasks:

  • Submitting and deleting jobs

  • Holding and releasing jobs

  • Creating and deleting queues

  • Enabling and disabling queues

  • Starting and stopping queues

Batch Manager provides two types of views in the main window:

  • The server view displays information about the server and its queues. Information on each queue in the server view includes its name and type, its priority, its inflow and outflow state, and the number of jobs currently in the queue. When the server view is active, you can create, delete, and manage queues. Double-clicking on a queue listed in a server view displays the queue view of that queue.

  • The queue view displays information about the jobs contained in a specific queue. Information on each job in a queue includes its ID and status, its priority, its name, and the username of the job’s submitter. When the queue view is active, you can manipulate specific jobs in that queue. Double-clicking on a job listed in a queue view displays the properties of that job.

The status bar, at the bottom of the main window, displays information about the active view. For an active server view, the status bar displays the server name. For an active queue view, the status bar displays the queue’s name and type, its description, and its inflow and outflow states.
