While batch processing systems work with minimal input from personnel, they still need some oversight. To monitor batch processes, you can set up alerts—or exceptions—that are sent when the batch job succeeds, fails, or has finished running.
Monitors
Monitors in batch processes look for abnormalities, such as a job taking longer than it should to complete. In this instance, it would stop the next job from beginning and inform the relevant staff of the exception.
Post-processing analysis
You can view the history of a batch job after it has been processed. Most batch processes include log files that record messages while the job was running.
