The IBM batch processing lifecycle in a banking system involves a series of

steps to process large volumes of transactions efficiently.


This lifecycle can be broken down into several stages, each with specific tasks and
objectives. Here is a step-by-step overview of the IBM batch processing lifecycle:
1. Job Scheduling
Objective: Plan and schedule batch jobs to ensure they run at the appropriate times
without conflicts.
Example: Schedule nightly transaction processing to start at 11 PM after all daily
operations are closed.
2. Job Initiation
Objective: Start the batch job based on the predefined schedule.
Example: At 11 PM, the job scheduler initiates the transaction processing batch job.
3. Data Extraction
Objective: Extract the necessary data from source systems for processing.
Example: Extract daily transaction data from the banking transaction system into a
staging area.
4. Data Transformation
Objective: Process and transform the extracted data as required.
Example: Calculate interest for savings accounts based on daily transactions and
account balances.
5. Data Loading
Objective: Load the processed data into target systems or databases.
Example: Load the processed transaction data into the central accounting system.
6. Reporting and Notifications
Objective: Generate reports and notify stakeholders of job completion and any issues.
Example: Generate a daily transaction summary report for management.
• Send an email notification to the operations team upon job completion.
7. Job Monitoring and Control
Objective: Monitor the batch job execution and control its progress.
Example: Use IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler to monitor job execution and intervene if
any job fails.
8. Error Handling and Recovery
Objective: Handle any errors that occur during the batch job and recover if necessary.
Example: If a data loading step fails due to a database connectivity issue, automatically
retry the step after a short delay.
9. Job Termination
Objective: Complete the batch job lifecycle and release resources.
Example: After successful data loading, close database connections and delete
temporary staging files.
10. Post-Processing Analysis
Objective: Analyze the results of the batch job and prepare for the next cycle.
Tasks:
• Review job logs, reports, and performance metrics.
• Identify areas for improvement in the batch process.
• Plan and implement enhancements for future batch cycles.
Example:
• Analyze job performance metrics to identify bottlenecks and optimize job
scheduling for the next cycle.
