Types of batch processing

With Modeler, you can perform three basic types of batch processing:

One file or layer-to-many batch parameter sets
Many files or layers-to-one batch parameter set
Many files or layers-to-many batch parameter sets

With a single model, you can have various combinations of the preceding batch-processing types. However, you must define at least two batch parameter sets for at least one module for a model to process in batch mode.

Generally, when processing in batch mode, Modeler applies the first batch parameter set (row 1 of Batch parameter sets table) of the first module. Modeler then applies the first batch parameter set of the second module, and so on until the first batch parameter sets of all modules have run. Modeler then repeats the preceding process for each subsequent batch parameter set of each module until all parameter sets have run.

Note: Batch mode is unavailable with standalone-module processing run from Module Librarian.
