EDI Jobs view

Administration EDI EDI Jobs EDI Jobs view

The EDI Jobs view displays the EDI jobs that exist at the current scope level. You can use an EDI job to define a schedule for N4 to execute a specified EDI session at timed intervals.

For example, you can use a scheduled EDI job to have N4 execute an outbound ACTIVITY EDI session for ABC line operator at the end of each day and send the EDI message to the EDI mailbox specified in the EDI session. We recommend launching EDI Jobs from the complex scope level.

You must set up at least one EDI session to schedule an EDI job. For more information on EDI sessions, see EDI Sessions form (on page 1).

You can add, edit, and delete EDI jobs from this view.

In addition, you can use the following Actions menu options to:

• Schedule Job: Schedule an EDI job or jobs

Once scheduled, N4 displays the EDI job in the Background Jobs view and executes the EDI job at the specified times.

If an EDI job is scheduled, a bullet displays in the Is Scheduled column.

• Unschedule Job: Unschedule a scheduled EDI job or jobs

Once unscheduled, N4 removes the EDI job from the Background Jobs view and will no longer execute the EDI job until you schedule it again or use the Execute Now (once) option.

  When you try to unschedule an EDI job that is running, N4 displays the error message “Selected job definition <job name> is under execution. You are not allowed to unschedule a running job”.

If you want to stop running a background job, then you must use the Actions Halt Job option in the Background Jobs view rather than unscheduling the running job.

Execute Now (once): Execute a specific EDI job on demand. You cannot execute jobs that are already running per a schedule.If you do not select an EDI job in the list view, the above options are disabled and cannot be selected.

For more information on processing EDI jobs, see Processing EDI Jobs (on page 1).
