You can use the batch processing framework to create, schedule, monitor and search jobs.

Example Example

Government regulations require you to track funds leveraged for trade promotions and marketing initiatives as expenses. You are also required to track funds that accrue. Consequently, accrual calculation jobs are scheduled periodically to process and post them to the financial applications.

End of the example.
