5 Customizing Batch Schedules
Overview
POM comes with a standard set of Oracle Retail Application Batch Schedules, such as Merch, AIF, RSP, and so on. These Batch Schedules support the various Oracle Retail Products and are built and maintained by the corresponding Oracle Retail product teams. However, there is a need for customers be able to tailor these Batch Schedules or build custom ones. POM provides a number of customization capabilities for use by customers to modify these Batch Schedules or create new custom ones to meet their needs.
This chapter discusses the various customization use cases and how a customer can address them within POM.
Note
Support and maintenance for customizations, as well as any batch failures of custom jobs, are the retailer’s responsibility. In addition, retailers should carefully evaluate the impact of all customizations to existing schedules, given that these could extend the batch window.
Customization Use Cases
The following are some of the common customization tasks that can be performed in the POM application.

Custom Batch Schedule
This section details the various steps needed to create an entirely new custom Batch Schedule within POM.
A Batch Schedule is composed of two parts:
1. Schedule Configuration – Defines the structure and environment of the Batch Schedule. It defines the name of the Schedule, the URLs of the Job Agents that will run the Jobs within the Schedule, and defines any properties for the Schedule.
