Batch Processes

Prev Next

Access the status of key TMS batch processes from the Job Monitor Lightning Web Component (LWC), which is typically located on the Home Page, but can also be placed on custom Lightning App Pages.

Note: If a particular job is shown as 'Not Applicable' in the Status column, either the Credentials for the corresponding API are not enabled or the TMS Configuration setting that controls the job is not enabled.

When Batch Processes encounter an error and do not display an error toast to the User, the errors are stored in Error Logs. Navigate to the App Manager and search for Error Logs to view the list of Error Log records.

Note: Scheduled action times are set by the time zone of the User scheduling the job.
