Regulate the executions
 Limitation of simultaneous
executions
 Ex: 3 jobs Oracle and 5 jobs FTP
 Ex: 2 jobs AX & 1 job SAP
Manage constraints
 Ex: Application A only supports 5
executions at the same time
 Ex: Only 3 backup tapes are available
 Ex: Job should only run at day time
Manage priorities
 Used for handling “user jobs”:
 Critical jobs will be executed right
after the submission
 Non-critical jobs will be queued

Extended batch automation capabilities
 AX includes only rudimentary features: date and time
 AX does not guarantee reliable and timely batch operations in the right order
 AX allows only the scheduling of local operations
 AX does not guarantee synchronization with other functional and technical
silos
Better control of the system
 AX jobs can persist abnormally (in a Batch Job execution)
Other Executions in AX can be blocked
Motivations for using Dollar Universe with Dynamics AX
Microsoft Dynamics
AX 2012 is available
and supported in 25
countries and 23
languages.
