Registering the Report
Once the SRW2 report is written, you must register it as a Cheque
Writer report. This is similar to registering ’Cash Analysis Rules’ for the
Pre–Payments process.
You must also define a new Quickcode Value for the Type of
’CHEQUE_REPORT’. Enter the report name and description.
In a similar way to the Magnetic Tape process, the file generated by the
report is named:
p<trunc(conc_request_id,5)>.c<chunk_number>
The file name is padded with zeros if the length of the request id is
shorter than five characters, for example, p03451.cl.
It is written to a directory, such that:
if $APPLCSF is defined
write to $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT
else
write to $PAY_TOP/$APPLOUT
end if
If Cheque Writer is run with multiple threads, it produces several files.
This is because Cheque Writer assignment actions are split into several
chunks, one chunk per thread. So, each thread can pick a chunk and
process it. This is done to improve performance on machines with
multiple processors. For example, if there are four threads processing,
there would be four files produced:
•
p03451.c1
•
p03451.c2
•
p03451.c3
•
p03451.c4
Cheque Writer creates a fifth file (by the process which concatenates the
four files into one), the name of this file is p03451.ch.
Using or Changing the PL/SQL Procedure
Cheque Writer updates the assignment actions with the cheque and
chunk number in the sequence, determined by a PL/SQL procedure,
B – 56
