Batch applications contain Application and Batch settings tabs.

The Application tab provides the basic information about batch application name and its relevant development object as well as the information about a currently performed action and its individual settings.

In the Batch settings tab, you can select individual settings for a batch job. The User, OLTP database and Content language fields are completed by default on the basis of the customizing data, but they are editable. It is also necessary to select a processing queue and for certain batch applications also an application server (if the default values are not provided for these fields under Customizing).
