Background Processing: Information and Planning System

Program processing is not essential in the Information System. If certain functions (for example, periodic exception analysis) are used, or large quantities of data are processed (for example, creation of new statistics), reports are used.

Requirements can be classified as follows:

Standard analyses

All standard analyses can be run as programs, for example as selection versions, in the case of evaluations that affect performance.

Periodic or event-oriented evaluations in the Early Warning System

These evaluations must be run as programs.

Flexible analyses

These evaluations can be run as programs. This must be defined first. The evaluation can be started online or planned as a job.

Compilation of statistics

You must create new statistics using a program.

Administrative activities

Tasks in this area, such as copying information structures, should be run as programs wherever possible.
