    • Decision Service - List of managed, deployed Decision Services that have at least one component that has batch queries in its connected database.
    • Datasource - The name of the Datasource connection that the Decision Service uses, as assigned in the Vocabulary.
      For example, in an export configuration file named myConfig.xml where the first few lines are... 
      ...
<decisionService>
   <datasources>
      <database useForQueryService="true" name="Patient Data">
         <connection-url>jdbc:progress:sqlserver://localhost:1433;
             databaseName=PatientRecords</connection-url>

    • Log Path—The folder that will store the logs produced for this batch configuration on the server that runs the batch process. Default location is [CORTICON_WORK_DIR]\logs\ .

      The log file name is set as DecisionServiceName(Version)_Threads_Timestamp.log. For example, PatientUpdate(1.2)_4_1515014748084.log

    • Logging enabled checkbox - To the right of the Log Path entry, the checkbox lets you decide whether to do logging for this batch configuration.
