Prerequisites

Import PowerLogger project into your AX environment before you try to use it. https://github.com/drakhshaniaram/PowerLogger

Running job

static void Run_BatchGroupsTest(Args _args)
{
    str allBatchgroups;
    str activeBatchGroups;
    ;

    allBatchgroups = PowerBatchSuit::getAllBatchGroupsList().toString();
    activeBatchGroups = PowerBatchSuit::getResponsiveBatchGroupsList().toString();

    info(strFmt("All Batch groups: %1", allBatchgroups));
    info(strFmt("Active ones: %1", activeBatchGroups));
}

How to use

1. Download the XPP Shared project\PowerBatchSuit.xpo
2. Import the .xpo file into a running AX environment
3. Open the PowerBatchSuit project
4. Run the Run_BatchGroupsTest job
5. Wait for about 1 minute for the result, without worring about the environment gets freezed ;) . Because this technique uses a synchrounous call to all the batchgroups, it needs at least 1 minute to get run.
6. Analyze the result in the infolog and double-check with AX;
   • Check System administration > Inquiries > Batch jobs > Batch job history. for successfully running batch-groups
   • Check System administration > Inquiries > Batch jobs > Batch jobs for stuck batch-jobs.
     • Waiting : the batch-group may be inaccesible, stopped, or locked
     • Executing : the batch-group may be under a heavy load, or in shortage of RAM, I/O, Processing power
