The Processing Monitor component provides a comprehensive set of processing statistics along with graphical representations of those statistics. The statistical information displayed on this page includes:

  • Counts by selection, calculation, and segment status. This information is further broken down by the Absence and Payroll calculation types.

  • Summarized gross pay and net pay results for payroll calculations.

  • Summarized accumulator results for absence calculations.

The Processing Monitor presents this information by calendar group and by individual calendar.

Note: You cannot use the Processing Monitor to review processing statistics for off-cycle calendars.

Updating Processing Monitor Data

The system updates the data presented in the Processing Monitor during absence and payroll calculation batch processing. You can disable the portion of the batch process that updates the Processing Monitor by deselecting the Update Processing Monitor check box on the Debug and Tuning Options page.

This is an example of the Debug and Tuning Options page.

You can also update Processing Monitor data for a specific calendar group using the Update Processing Monitor Data page.

Use the Update Processing Monitor Data page (GP_CS_POP_RCNTL) to update Processing Monitor data for a calendar group.
