COB – Scenario 2

• Multiple batch records with the same batch stage

• Assumption

Batch ID Batch Stage Job Name

[Link] A100 LD1,LD2
[Link] A100 LC1,LC2
[Link] A100 FX1,FX2
• Randomize batch records with the same batch stage

LD1,LD2,LC1,LC2,FX1,FX2 LC1,LC2,LD1,LD2,FX1,FX2

• Never randomize jobs

• Ideal when multiple single threaded routines need to be
executed simultaneously

T3TCM – R05 – 1.0 Copyright © 2005 TEMENOS HOLDINGS NV

COB – Scenario 3

• Execution of single threaded routines

– Will not execute LOAD
– BJC running on the agent that holds a lock on
[Link] will write a value ‘SingleThreaded’ on to
the list file
– The agent that gets the lock on the ID in the LIST file will be
the one which executes the single threaded routine
– The entire single threaded routine is within a transaction
block
