Creating Batch Processing jobs from the LMC
Contents
Users can create distributive batch processes through the LAW Management Console without launching CloudNine™ LAW.
Databases need to be created in SQL to create a batch processing job through the LAW Management Console. If running a batch process that requires flag reset prior to processing, then it is recommended to set up the distributed batch through the database where you can reset the flags prior to OCRing etc.
Use the LMC - If you need to start a large process and are not a regular user of CloudNine™ LAW, then the LMC is quick and easy to get to a large number of documents for batch processing started. Creating jobs does not use any licenses - when the job starts, each client will pull required licenses to join the process.
Use Distributed Batch Processing through the database, if you need to query/filter for specific documents, or reset OCR flags first.
