Job Control drives the working of Data Warehouse. Job Control in simplistic terms is the layout of how the batch processing for Data Warehouse will run. The concept is similar to any batch processing used in the core production systems. You can also refer to 'Automated processing controls' This has the following components: - The Job Listing
- The job Description
- The Code of the job
- The linkage of the jobs with other jobs in terms of precedence, succession OR parallel.
- The conditions and quality checks that are performed before starting of a job
- The conditions and the quality checks done before marking a job as complete.
- Notification, alter and failure points for the jobs
The outcome is also a visual flow chart (just like PERT), which is given to the data center personnel who manage the job execution. |
