A schedule is used to establish when B2B Data Exchange runs PowerCenter batch workflows.
A PowerCenter batch workflow reads from a file, database, or another customer source. It runs once and stops after completion. You can use file-reading PowerCenter batch workflows to process documents from B2B Data Exchange. You can use the other batch workflows to generate documents for B2B Data Exchange, for example, outbound reports. The B2B Data Exchange administrator can use the scheduling feature to run the batch workflows when required.
