Batch Performance Problem/Solution
Even with advances in batch program development, problems with batch performance are still very common. This is particularly painful during implementations. Operations teams need to ensure that the batch window is not breached to guarantee their Service-Level Agreement (SLA) is met. Breaches in SLA can result in significant financial loss to the business. Best practice is for all batch processing to be completed in under half the batch window. It is not usually possible to achieve this using performance tuning alone. These solutions are the new industry standard as no additional development or hardware expenditure is required to make them work. Runtimes can usually be reduced by more than 85%.

Famous quotes containing the words batch, performance, problem and/or solution:
“Do you not know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 5:6.
“The honor my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth and the performance of duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts except such as is due to integrity and justice and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been framed.”

“Congress seems drugged and inert most of the time. ...Its idea of meeting a problem is to hold hearings or, in extreme cases, to appoint a commission.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
