Hi James, We are solving that problem for a customer at the moment.
You could check if the batch user is logged on to the SQL server, only that will not give you the answer you are looking for. The user can be logged on, and the batch process has crashed, or the user is not logged on, but the batch process is running - but Idle. We decided to introduce a heartbeat to the batch process. After execution on the batch process we write a XML file with an execution log. The heartbeat is monitored a BizTalk server starting a workflow if the batch process has not been executed the last 10 minutes.

Mai 2010 10:24 An: development-axapta@yahoogroups.com Betreff: [development-axapta] AX4.0 how to know batch process is running Hi everyone, I am not sure if this has been asked in the group before but if yes please help direct me to the posting I want to setup some way to alert me if the batch process (or batch user login) has failed or not been started in AX4.0. Basically I have several companies and about 5 batch groups in each so that is 10 batch processes that need to be running. I just want a simple way to get an email notification if the batch process is not running Usually the problem is the batch user session is terminated for various reason such as hardware problem So I was thinking is there some SQL script I can make to check the batch user is logged in or somehow from outside AX query what batch groups or processes are currently running in AX? Thanks in advance for your help James [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
