<\/a>Set Priority Levels<\/h2>\nThe batch instance priority can be set from multiple areas:<\/p>\n
\n- Upload Batch <\/strong>screen<\/li>\n
- Web Scanner <\/strong>screen<\/li>\n
- Batch Instance Management <\/strong>screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Note<\/strong>: If a priority level is changed while a batch is in the RUNNING <\/strong>state, the change will occur once it has reached the READY <\/strong>state.<\/p>\n<\/a>Upload Batch Screen<\/h3>\nFrom the Upload Batch <\/strong>screen, you can set the batch priority in the Priority <\/strong>field. This is located at the top right corner of the screen, as shown below. The default priority is the priority of the batch class.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/ephesoft.com\/docs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/word-image-29.png\")

\n<\/strong>Figure 4. Restart Batch<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a>Workflow Algorithm<\/h2>\nWhen processing batches with different priorities, the system will pick up the higher priority batches first (closer to 1<\/strong>). In the event that two batches have the same priority level, Ephesoft Transact will refer to the workflow batch picking algorithm specified in the application.properties <\/strong>file.<\/p>\n\n- Navigate to [Ephesoft_Directory<\/em>]\\Application\\WEB-INF\\classes\\META-INF.<\/li>\n
- Open the application.properties <\/strong>file.<\/li>\n
- Locate the workflow.batchPickingAlgo <\/strong>property.<\/li>\n
- Set batch instances to queue using one of the following algorithms:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n- Round Robin<\/a> (=1)<\/li>\n
- FIFO <\/a>(=0)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/a>Round Robin<\/h3>\nThis is the default option. When using this algorithm, batch instances are sorted by the batch class priority. Batch instances that belong to the same batch class will be processed first.<\/p>\n
Batch instances are processed in a cyclic manner. For example, if there are two batch classes that each have two batch instances, the system will pick up the batch instance for batch class 1, then move on to pick up the batch instance for batch class 2. This process will continue, with the system picking one instance of each batch class at a time in a circular manner.<\/p>\n
