Queue for Batch Processing

This is a special mode, used only by clients which identify changes in precedent values which are likely to lead to a large number of dependents being recalculated. The Dependency Manager maintains a special system-wide "batch" precedent change set which accumulates precedent changes from across (potentially) many different transactions.

If any precedent change items are identified during the scope of a database transaction, then the Dependency Manager:

• retrieves the special system-wide batch precedent change set;
• adds all the precedent change items identified during the transaction to this batch precedent change set; and
• writes an informational message to the application logs to prompt an administrator to schedule batch processing to process this batch precedent change set.
