Batch Task Event Handling (Magic xpa 3.x)
Batch task processing is different from the interactive process. Unlike interactive tasks, where the Runtime engine waits for input, Batch tasks process the records without waiting for input.
Batch tasks can poll pending events. You can define the Batch task engine to poll events by a timer, by the number of records processed, or by both.

The Batch Event Interval setting, in the Environment dialog box, lets you set the timer for the event polling of Batch tasks. Entering a numeric value of 0 disables the Batch Event Interval. The polling of events will then be determined only by the numerical value of the Record Event Interval in the Task Properties dialog box.
