Batch Processing Component

A.

In a Dynamics 365 Finance environment, batch processing is used to automate repetitive tasks and processes. Batch processing allows the user to perform specific operations on a set of records, without having to perform them individually. However, when a specific Application Object Server (AOS) becomes over-used, it can lead to performance issues. To address this problem, the batch processing of high-demand items should be altered to have affinity to a new AOS server.

The component that needs to be changed in this scenario is the Batch group. A Batch group is a collection of batch tasks that run together, using the same batch server. Batch groups are used to organize batch tasks and control their execution. By changing the batch group, we can specify which AOS server should be used for running the batch tasks.

To alter the batch group, the following steps can be followed:

1. Open the Batch group form by navigating to Batch management > Batch groups.
2. Select the batch group that needs to be modified.
3. Click the Edit button to open the Edit batch group form.
4. In the Edit batch group form, select the Batch servers tab.
5. In the Batch servers tab, select the new AOS server that should be used for running the batch tasks.
6. Save the changes.

Once the batch group has been modified, any batch tasks that are part of that group will be processed using the new AOS server that has been specified. This will help to distribute the workload and alleviate the performance issues on the over-used AOS server.
