Batch Processing

In a batch processing environment jobs or programs are grouped together and presented to the computer system in a batch. The system executes them one after another in a batch. All the data required to be processed by a particular program and hence for that batch of programs are gathered over a period of time and submitted together at once along with a batch of programs. Data processing is carried out collectively on the overall data collected in a specific time period.

Example of batch processing include:

Data processing involved in banks that are engaged in money transaction. For example bank deposits in terms of cash, cheque, DDs Bank lona, etc., are taking place on each day in business hours say 10-30 to 2-30 may be fed to the computer for data processing i.e., to balance accounts of deposits and withdrawals. All these transaction details or data collected over a specific period of time say commercial working hours, is submitted at once. The entire data is processed at a stretch, there by the results may be obtained in a balance sheet format.

Batch processing does not provided interactive computation of course there is no or less intervention by the programmer or operator at the time of program execution in Batch Processing mode.

Payroll applications:

Computations of monthly salary of employees are handled periodically in batch processing mode.
