consistent user interface across independently programmed applications.

test bulk submit run. A trial bulk submit run in which the bulk submit program selects jobs
but does not submit them to their NetBatch schedulers. The Bulk Submit Predictions
report, which the program produces automatically for the run, lists the jobs selected in
the run. By running a test, you can determine which jobs are selected in a production
run before you execute that run.
wild-card process. A wild-card process is a NetBatch scheduler process or spooler
supervisor process specified using the asterisk (*), question mark (?), or both wild-card
characters. When the NetBatch-Plus application searches for process names matching
the specification, it searches on the wild-card processes list, which you maintain on the
Wild-Card Processes screen. The list is a table of fully qualified process names
enabling the application to perform quick searches for matching processes rather than
time-consuming searches on all systems in your network.
