Validating a Batch Class

You can validate a batch class before you publish it. Validation might be useful if you are editing a batch class and are not ready to make it available for use. You can validate the batch class as you make changes to identify and troubleshoot potential problems.

Validating a batch class does not make it available for use. You cannot create batches based on a batch class until the batch class is successfully published.

  1. On the Home tab, in the Batch Class group, click Publish.

    The Publish window appears.

  2. Follow the procedure in Publishing a Batch Class and stop after the Validate process is complete.
