HR Requests Per Finalize Batch |
Number, maximum value = 200, default value = 200. The number of HR Requests to process in each Finalize batch, defaults to 200. A batch size of 200 is likely to complete more quickly, but is also more likely lead to timeout errors, and can make it more complicated to identify where the issue is if the Finalize batch fails. If the batch fails, none of the requests included in it is finalized. If the batch size is 1, processing all the requests pending finalization can take longer than processing a larger batch size, but it is easier to identify an issue if the batch fails. If you need to configure the batch size enter a value from 1 to less than 200, otherwise leave blank. |

When Group Based Sharing is enabled, you do not need to run the Team Member Data Sharing batch by selecting Recalculate Visibility on the HR Department page if HR Managers assigned to an HR Department change.
