updating calculations using batch processors

I have a parent and child forms which have calculations on each as well as the relational link between the two that need updating so that the user will see all of the appropiate data when called upon. In order to do this so that it does not effect work during the day, I have it run late at night as a batch process.
The problem I am having is that I don’t think the batch process re-updated the calculations. When I come in the next morning, it does not look like the calculations have updated. Is this because the batch process is not being “viewed” like a normal user license would if it was running the method? I have run the method during the day on my developer machine and it works correctly, but not as a batch process.

Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?

A headless is a “normal” client in that sense. So that should not be the problem.

  1. How do you update your calcs
  2. Why don’t you make sure the calcs are updated when the actual data is changed? I think the whole construction is a bit weird.

Are you sure the process is completed?
No call to ANY dialog in the process?
You are working in a headless client which should perform as a normal client with the exception of the use of dialogs etc. (see documentation).
