Batch - Update Process

Updates or changes the Batch Process associated with this batch.

Remarks

The Update Process command allows you to assign a new Batch Process to an existing Batch, or to remove the current process association.

Overview

Use this command to:

• Change the workflow for a batch by selecting a different Batch Process.
• Start the batch at a specific Batch Process Step within the selected process.
• Remove the process association entirely, if no process is specified.

> Note: The batch must be paused before this command can be used.

Usage Notes

• When a new Batch Process is selected, the batch will be updated to use the latest published version of that process.
• You can optionally select a specific Batch Process Step where processing should begin.
• If no process is specified, any existing process will be removed from the batch.
• This command is useful for rerouting batches, updating workflows, or recovering from process design changes.
• Only paused or completed batches can be updated; active batches must be paused first.

Properties

Name	Type		Description
Target Process	Batch Process	►	The Batch Process to assign to the batch. ConverterProcess Converter Select the Batch Process that defines the workflow to be used for this batch. The batch will be updated to use the latest published version of the selected process. If no process is specified, any existing process association will be removed from the batch. Changing the process may affect available steps, activities, and workflow logic for the batch. Use this property to reroute a batch to a different workflow or to clear its process assignment.
Target Step	Batch Process Step	►	The Batch Process Step where the batch should begin processing. ConverterStep Converter Select the Batch Process Step at which processing should resume or begin after updating the process. The available steps are determined by the selected 'Target Process'. If no step is specified, the batch will start at the first step of the process. Use this property to control where the batch enters the workflow, such as skipping initial steps or resuming at a specific point. This is especially useful when updating a batch to a new process version or rerouting it after a process change.
