The only reason I would stay with Batch Update today is performance. If
your AS/400 is performing badly, stay with your current config.
You should switch, because:
1. Online update of inventory
2. Immediate 'batch' update of history, (uses MAPCIS, unattached jobs ).
3. In a nutshell, more accurate info, more up to date,  THE BETTER OPTION.

Subject:  Inventory Transactions: Batch or Immediate Update?




I have been looking over the Inventory Questionnaire response for Inventory
Transaction updates: Batch Update or Immediate Update. I cannot find any
information relating to pros and cons of each type of transaction. We are
finishing a conversion from DB2 to XAR5, and are rethinking our procedures.

We currently update our XAR5 transactions by batch (which is what we did
while on DB2.) The only reason I have to do it in batch is because of past
history. The new system is much larger and more capable and should be able
to handle immediate interactive updating.

Why should I stay with batch updates? Why should I switch?
