Overview
JOB is the only APPX process type you can make available for back ground processing. At the end of this document you will have made all the demo (DMO) JOB output reports candidates for background processing. |
| |
- Modify the JOB's OUTPUT process type to have Separate Task (Sep. Task) checked as shown in the figure below.

APPX Server |
|
<
< | This configuration needs to be done to files placed on the APPX Windows server. |
>
> | If all you wish to do is submit an APPX JOB's OUTPUT process to the background, you do not need to set the APPX_BG_SCRIPT environment variable, nor do you need to have an appx_submit.cmd batch file. If however you wish to take specific action based on one of the arguments APPX passes to the appx_submit.cmd script , then you should set APPX_BG_SCRIPT=appx_submit.cmd and create an appx_submit.cmd file that can act on the 8 argument pairs that are past. They are (-image, -session, -mode, -notify, -date, -priority, -queue, and -user)
These configuration files (appx.env file containing APPX_BG_SCRIPT environment variable, and appx_submit.cmd batch script) need to be placed on the APPX Windows server. |
| | The appx.env file.
The appx.env file is a file that is referenced by all appx processes. The file contains environment variables that you want to be present for APPX sessions. Any line that starts with # is a comment line and is not used by APPX. The other lines have a syntax of VARIABLE=VALUE, where VARIABLE is an environment variable such as APPXPATH, and VALUE is the text that you want to assign to the variable, such as C:\Appx\Data.
Here is an example appx.env file. |
