Info

SAP CC Batch agent Batch workflow functionality.

SAP CC does not support rollback on operations that has already been executed. In order to achieve transaction safety,  the agent will utilize a database to keep track of which record that has been processed. In a scenario where the workflow aborts, the agent will be able to refer to the database to determine which records were processed before the abort and prevent duplicated records from being processed.


Database

The database profile to commit the records to. Prior to running this workflow, a table needs to be created in the respective database.
