Intergraph Batch Services (Batch Services) is a system service that provides tools for the management and execution of non-interactive tasks. The batch system is fully networked, and provides connectivity to other batch servers.

The batch system is useful to both system administrators and users. Delayed execution of tasks allows maintenance- and compute-intensive tasks, such as backups or compilation of large programs, to be scheduled for times when the system is not in use. The batch system also allows several client computers to use a multiprocessor server as a "compute engine" for CPU intensive tasks. A large task can be spread out among several systems available on the network.

The Batch Server service requires System Account privileges on the system. Use the Services icon in the Control Panel to configure the Batch Server service.

The complete batch system consists of several pieces, including a batch Server, pipe and batch queues, and an API set, as shown in the following diagram:
