Batch Processing

Overview

Batch processing allows you to handle large volumes of documents efficiently, reducing processing time and system resource usage.

When to Use Batch Processing

  • Processing 100+ documents
  • Similar document types
  • Overnight processing requirements
  • Resource optimization needs

Setting Up Batch Jobs

Job Configuration

  1. Select Documents: Choose files for batch processing
  2. Processing Options: Configure OCR, classification, and analysis
  3. Priority Settings: Set job priority levels
  4. Scheduling: Choose immediate or scheduled processing

Processing Parameters

  • Chunk Size: Number of documents per processing batch
  • Parallel Workers: Simultaneous processing threads
  • Memory Allocation: RAM assigned to batch job
  • Timeout Settings: Maximum processing time per document

Monitoring and Management

Job Status Tracking

Monitor batch jobs through:

  • Real-time progress indicators
  • Processing statistics
  • Error logs and reports
  • Completion notifications

Queue Management

  • View pending jobs
  • Modify job priorities
  • Cancel or pause processing
  • Restart failed jobs

Optimization Strategies

Resource Management

  • Schedule during off-peak hours
  • Balance CPU and memory usage
  • Optimize network bandwidth
  • Monitor storage capacity

Performance Tuning

  • Adjust batch sizes based on document complexity
  • Configure optimal worker thread counts
  • Implement checkpointing for large jobs
  • Use compression for network transfers

Error Handling

  • Automatic retry mechanisms
  • Failed document isolation
  • Error categorization and reporting
  • Manual intervention workflows

Best Practices

  • Test with small batches first
  • Monitor system resources during processing
  • Implement proper backup procedures
  • Keep detailed processing logs
