Setting up Job Processing

Overview of DDI44SET

Job processing, otherwise known as periodic processing or daily, allows your organization to process reports and system updates such as donations, loan payments and investment deposits. Job processing is usually configured as a part of the DDI implementation process. However, there will be times when a job needs to be maintained or added. The instructions below will walk you through the process of maintaining this screen. You can also contact DDI Client Support for assistance.

• From the DDI Connect main menu, click Admin and select Job Queue:

You will see a screen similar to this one:

The columns on this screen contain the following information:

Column	Description
Date codes	The date codes field tells the system when this particular job should be run. A list of date codes can be found here
Seq	The sequence field tells the system in what order to run the jobs for a particular date code. Please note that there are some jobs that must process in a certain order so that the system is updated properly
Program	The program field indicates what process or report is being run. What the program name is will depend on what you are trying to run. For example: Trying to run Program Name Standard system report program name will be REPORTm.r where REPORT is the report identifier. For example, if you are trying to set up the Post Transactions to GL report, you would type fw20m.r. You can determine the report identifier by looking at the report parameter screen - in the upper left and lower left corners, it shows the report identifier Process Processes that update account or constituent records should be entered as REPORTpro.r. For example, loan payment due processing is configured as il665pro.r Report Generator or Info Query Report If you utilize either Report Generator or the Information Query to schedule reports, you can configure scheduled reports to run as a part of your periodic processing. They will appear as REPORTrtp.r, where REPORT is the report identifier. In order to schedule these reports, they must have been run at least once. If you would like assistance in configuring one of these report types, please contact DDI Client Support
