Introduction
With the batch-jobs it is possible to generate a huge number of maps, without a permanent connection to the map server. The geocoding of the addresses, the routing to a target and the creation of the maps is done in parallelisation to speed up the generation process. So the batch jobs are useful for a large number of addresses.
The batch job can generates two types of maps: the locr NAVImaps (route map) and the locr LOCALmaps (surroundings map). To generate LOCALmaps you must have one address-list (customer), while for the NAVImaps you must have 2 address-lists (customer/shops) with the start and target points.
Conditions
Conditions
To use the locr batch job, there must be 2 conditions satisfied.
1. You need a username and a password to get access to the batch-job.
The access data you get directly from locr or from your map partner.
To connect with the locr map server it is necessary to make an authentification, more information here:
2. And the map server URL, z.B.: http://maps1.locr.com
Start a batch job
To generate maps with a batch-job you have 3 steps to go:
Create a batch-job and import address data:
To generate a new batch-job it is essential to upload the address-files. This will be made by a POST-Request with enctype "multipart/form-data" and the action init.
Example:
https://maps1.locr.com/batch-processing/job.php?action=init&name=<jobname>
Every batch-job will be generated with a default configuration, that can be changed later, but so it possible to go to the next step.
To start a batch-job use the action start.
https://maps1.locr.com/batch-processing/job.php?action=start&name=<jobname>&to_dos=geocoding,routing
After the execution of batch-job the data can be downloaded with the action download.

Batch-job change configuration
To change the configuration of a batch job use the action configure with the required parameter.
https://maps1.locr.com/batch-processing/job.php?action=configure&request_id=<RequestId>
With the action status it is possible to monitoring the batch-job process:

For canceling a batch-job use the action cancel.
https://maps1.locr.com/batch-processing/job.php?action=cancel&name=<jobname>
To restart a batch process from different steps use the action reset, with a parameter for the step.
https://maps1.locr.com/batch-processing/job.php?action=reset&name=<jobname>&to_dos=geocoding,routing,map_creation
With the action remove it is possible to remove the batch-job.
