# Creating Batch Jobs

Automating the import and posting processes ensures that new PLM data is regularly synchronized without manual intervention.

Batch jobs can be configured for:

- Importing XML files from the connector’s working path.
- Posting open PLM staging journals after validation.

**Import Batch Job**

1. Go to **Engineering Change Management > Setup > PLM Integration > PLM Systems**.
2. Select the relevant PLM system and click **Message**.
3. On the **Operation** tab, select **Run**.
4. Click **OK** to import XML files from the connector’s working path immediately.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> - Check **Batch processing** toggle button to run import automatically at regular intervals.
> - Select **Recurrence** to define the schedule (e.g., every hour or daily).
> - Optionally configure **Alerts** to notify administrators of failures.

**Posting PLM Staging Journal Batch Job**

1. Go to **Modules** > **Engineering Change Management** > **Periodic** > **PLM Integration** > **Post Staging Journals**.
2. Configure the parameters as required and click **OK**. When executed, all open staging journals are automatically posted.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> To automate the process, enable **Batch processing**, set the **Recurrence** for the required frequency, and optionally configure **Alerts** to monitor success or errors. You can also define multiple threads for parallel processing in high-volume scenarios. Batch jobs are typically used in production to keep PLM and Dynamics 365 data synchronized automatically.
