...Batch Files: What is it and its harm Devry University The early business computers systems developed in the 1950’s showed how efficient they were by processing large group of records. They did all of this in batches. In the 1960s, computer engineers introduced interactive terminals. This would allow users to input for the very first time. Now today, even with use of laptops, home computers, and mobile devices. Most of the business and organizations still use some type of batch file processing for most of their applications. A batch file is a collection of commands that are processed in a certain order sometimes requiring the user to input information. With a computer using an operating system like Windows. A batch file is stored in a .bat file extension format. Most other operating systems may determine a batch file in a command file, using two or more commands that are processed one right after another. Just to perform the task at hand. Batch files are normally used to load programs, run different task at one time, and to perform repetitive tasks. An example of a batch file could be to back up files from different computers to a storage device or run the diagnostics on a system or process some type of log files. Batch files can start working at any time and can be left completely alone until the process is finished. The one of the main advantages to using batch files is the accessibility. A person can make the file entry themselves and...

...Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes In this assignment, you will evaluate how to perform post-installation tasks, including the installation of roles with Server Manager and how to create batch files to manage administrative tasks. Assignment Requirements Evaluate the following scenario: After careful consideration, it was decided by the corporate IT team that in order to increase security and lower your attack surface, Windows 2008 Server Core would be installed on a group of your servers. However, a few roles need to be installed on the server, and your Senior Administrator is not familiar with installing roles on a Server Core machine. Use notepad to create a batch file to install the following roles: DHCP, DNS, Print Services and Hyper-V. Questions: 1. What does the /w switch do? Why is it used? 2. What switch is used to remove a role? 3. What is the command to start the DHCP Server service? 4. What command is used to configure a DNS zone? These commands will be entered in a WordPad. Once entered the file will be saved has roles.bat. double clicking on the file will run it automatically /w ocsetup DHCPServerCore /w ocsetup DNS-Server-Core-Role /w ocsetup Microsoft-Hyper-V /w ocsetup Printing-ServerCore-Role 1. What does the /w switch do? Why is it used? Using /w prevents the command prompt from returning until the installation completes. Without /w, there is no indication that the installation completed. 2. What switch is...

...8657–8669 8657 Single-Stage Scheduling of Multiproduct Batch Plants: An Edible-Oil Deodorizer Case Study Songsong Liu,† Jose M. Pinto,‡ and Lazaros G. Papageorgiou*,† Centre for Process Systems Engineering, Department of Chemical Engineering, UniVersity College London, Torrington Place, London WC1E 7JE, U.K., and Process Systems R&D, Praxair Inc., 39 Old Ridgebury Rad, Danbury, Connecticut 06810 This article considers the short-term scheduling of a single-stage batch edible-oil deodorizer that can process multiple products in several product groups. Sequence-dependent changeovers occur when switching from one product group to another. Based on the incorporation of products into product groups, mixed integer linear programming (MILP) models are proposed for two scenarios, with and without backlogs. Then, the models are successfully applied to a real-world case with 70 product orders over a 128-h planning horizon. Compared with a literature model developed for a similar problem, the proposed models exhibit significantly better performance. 1. Introduction In the past decade, a large number of optimization models and approaches have been proposed for batch scheduling and planning. A number of reviews on the planning and scheduling of batch processes have been presented in the literature.1-6 Initially, discrete-time formulation models using the state-task network7 (STN) or resource-task network8 (RTN) were used for batch scheduling problems. Because discrete-time formulations...

...Batch Processing (AIS). There are two types of data processing cycle/methods in an Accounting information system, One is known as Batch processing method and the other is a real time processing method. The batch is a group of similar transactions that are accumulated over time and then processed together. The transactions must be independent from one another during the time period over which the accumulation of transaction has been done in an organized order which is appropriated for batch processing. There is always a time lag exists between the event and the processing. In batch processing the transaction data is stored in a transaction file till the performance of master file update. The storing of transaction file may occur through online or offline entry of data. The time lag is one characteristic used to distinguish between batch and real-time systems. Explain. Give an example of when each is a real choice. Lag time is the major characteristic that can distinguish batch processing from real time processing because batch processing is used only when there are a large number of files or where a quick response is not needed. It is a non-continuous/ Non real time processing of data, materials or instructions. The files that are needed to be transmitted are gathered over a period of time and then send together as a batch and are processed with minimal human interaction. While real time processing is that type of data processing which appears to take place or actually taking...

...many performance indicators for the success of a business. This include brand identity, reputation, innovation, leadership, productivity, process management, customer satisfaction, and quality to name a few. Management at Benihana can achieve maximum profitability by maximizing utilization, throughput time, making use of batching, designing of the bar and catering to the optimum number of customers. By varying the hours of operation and carefully balancing operation costs, they can meet customers’ demands and yet maximize overall profit. Batching The first decision to see if the restaurant is served with no-batching policy, will it be a better strategy. Running tests against both scenarios (batch and no-batch), it shows that Benihana is already doing well by staying with the batch policy. Using batching, Benihana improves the average utilization of the dining room capacity from 45% to 57%. They can serve a 275 dinners using less tables (35) compared with no batching which only could have catered to only 204 dinners using more tables (46). With less tables to serve the costs of serving drinks and dinner is substantially lowered, driving down total costs. Higher revenue (from extra sales) and lower costs increases profits. Bar-restaurant design The bar concept in Benihana is a good model because not only it allows customers a place to hang out while waiting for their table to be ready for seating, it also serves as an extra source of revenue. In fact, the revenue...

...| Command | ECHO | Description | The ECHO command has several different uses. MS DOS batch files use two echo 'modes'. The default echo mode is ECHO ON. When ECHO is set to ON, every command in the batch file is displayed to the screen before it is run. Sometimes this information is not required, and can even be downright annoying for larger batch files. The command ECHO OFF sets the batch echo mode to OFF. In this mode, the commands are not printed to the screen prior to their execution. As well as the echo modes, the ECHO command is used to print a message to the user. Messages are displayed to the user by preceding a line of text with ECHO. | Syntax | ECHO MODE ON : ECHO ON ECHO MODE OFF : ECHO OFF DISPLAY A MESSAGE : ECHO message | Typical Use | The command @ECHO OFF is almost always placed at the top of a batch file to switch off subsequent command echo. ECHO is also the only way a batch file can communicate information to a user. | Example | @ECHO OFF ECHO Please insert a disk in drive A: and press any key when ready. | Command | REM (short for remark) | Description | REM is the MS DOS batch file method of providing comments. Comments are lines of code which are not executed by the batch file, but rather are used to convey information about the workings of the batch file itself. Good batch file programming practice demands a comment at the head of every batch file explaining its use and syntax. Comments can also be put in other parts of the file to...

...high-technology job production isproject management, or project control. The essential features of good project control for a job are: - Clear definitions of objectives - how should the job progress (milestones, dates, stages) - Decision-making process - how are decisions taking about the needs of each process in the job, labour and other resources Examples of high technology / complex jobs: film production; large construction projects (e.g. the Millennium Dome) Batch Method As businesses grow and production volumes increase, it is not unusual to see the production process organised so that "Batch methods" can be used. Batch methods require that the work for any task is divided into parts or operations. Each operation is completed through the whole batch before the next operation is performed. By using the batch method, it is possible to achieve specialisation of labour. Capital expenditure can also be kept lower although careful planning is required to ensure that production equipment is not idle. The main aims of the batch method are, therefore, to: - Concentrate skills (specialisation) - Achieve high equipment utilisation This technique is probably the most commonly used method for organising manufacture. A good example is the production of electronic...

Employing 1,350 employees, Stickley Furniture has been able to gain report with local customers and gain a large market share in the north eastern part of the country. With continued growth and technological advances, they have the opportunity to increase production and streamline production processes. (Stevenson, 2012) There are different types of production processing that can be used, such as job shop, batch, repetitive, or continuous as the primary mode of operation. Job shop consists of a variety of custom-made products that are produced in batch numbers but somewhat few in diversity. The batch process occurs when many similar items are produced at one time, stage by stage from station to station and many items are produced simultaneously. Repetitive processing is large categories of standardized items are produced at one time in factory lines. The continuous processing method is products that are being processed are continuously in motivation with activities being done to them as they are moved down the line. Stickley Furniture uses a variety of processes to complete each piece of furniture that was developed to utilize their seasonal demand to their benefit. The company uses the job shop production process, because they employ...
