RE: Automating IM off-line batch update

Actually, I've never understood why the batches have to be posted anyway.
Backups could run, and all the AMTLIB batch clears would have to do is
only clear out the batches at delete or finished status.  Let the closed
and suspended batches alone.  I know the accounting apps do "partial
updates", so what?  Recovery could just reset those particular batches
back to the original status at time of backup.

I automated it to close any active batches prior to running the MAPICS
backups
so that the Backup won't fail.  The customer I work at has the IM Batches
in
Batch Mode = N.  If the user forgets to post - NO Backup.

P.S.  I even submitted a request for a CAS change to tailor the Backup to
Close/Post all batches to force the Backup.  Have not heard from MAPICS
about
it though.  My feeling is this - If I asked for a backup then I want a
backup
NO MATTER WHAT.
